Here's the thread from when we started the tank in Sept: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/367480/sneek-peek-155g-reef-tank-picture-intensive
we added more rock (FINALLY) and more coral (frags) and more fish (yay!) Still need to add more rock, but LFS still doesn't have any ready for us
So here's our stock list as of now:
Fish:
2 Ocellaris Clowns - mated pair
1 Blonde Naso Tang
1 Sailfin Tang - she eats from my hand!
1 Coral Beauty Angelfish
2 Yellow Watchman Gobies - mated pair (I think they're going through a trial separation right now, LOL )
1 Yellow Clown Goby (there's supposed to be 6, who knows where they went)
1 Green Spotted Mandarin
3 Female Lyretail Anthias - babies (LOVE THEM!) fairly certain one is changing into a male
1 Longfin Fairy Wrasse
1 Black Combtooth Blenny
Would like: will not be adding any time soon (probably no more fish, if we do add, it will be a year from now at least)
Royal Gramma or Purple Firefish or Fridmani Dottyback or Neon Goby (blue neon)
Corals:
Pink Birdsnest, Blue Acropora, Red Monti Cap, Pink Trumpets, Duncans, Fox Coral, Branching Frogspawn, Regular Frogspawn, Torch, Pagoda Cup, Purple Flowerpot, Green Flowerpot, Sun Coral, Candy Cane, Branching Hammer, Cat's Eye Bubble, Trachyphyllia (green and purple), Favia (maroon and green)
Blastomussa, Mint Cloves, Daisy Polyps, Cotton Candy/Pink zoos, Red Lobo, Fuzzy Green Mushrooms, Purple Pimple Mushroom, Blue Mushrooms, Purple spotted mushroom, Blue Branching Lobophyllia (rare), A million misc. zoos, Purple Acans, Orange Jubilee Acans, Red Xmas Acans, Rainbow Acans, Tons of misc. Polyps
Definitely will be adding an Elegance very soon (along with tons of other corals)
Inverts:
Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
2 Green Bubble Tip Anemones
1 Mini Carpet Anemone
5-10 Astrea snails
5 Trochus snails
7 Cerith snails
5 Nassarius snails
7 Blue Knuckle Hermits (5 little, 2 giants)
2 Scarlett Hermits <-- waste, they always get killed by the blue knuckles
5 Mexican reef hermits
2 Peppermint Shrimp
2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (probably will add one more)
2 Sand Sifting Star fish
tons of brittle starfish that came as hitchhikers
1 Porcelain Anemone Crab
Additional info:
Running an ASM G-3 Protein skimmer with upgraded pump (7000)
2 36" Nova Extreme T5HO set ups w/ upgraded bulbs (Wave Point T5HO bulbs) as well as LED lights (slowly adding more and more)
40G sump, 1 Koralia 4 Power head (will be adding another, probably a 2 or 3) 1 Aquaclear (it's getting replaced, they suck, don't buy them), Mag 7 pump - we are planning on upgrading our sump/pump/overflow set up to a dual overflow with a bigger pump and sump as our xmas gift to each other (awwwww!)
None of our fish fight. It's a very peaceful tank. We had issues with our Coral Beauty until we added a fish larger than her, now she's fine. Our tangs will even eat off the same seaweed clip together.
The Coral Beauty does NOT nip at any of our corals, nor has she.
Although our mandarin eats pods in the rocks, we also spot feed tigger pods weekly. We do not have a refugium attached to the tank.
Our anemones do move around a little (a very little). They have yet to sting any of our corals. Our power heads are NOT covered. (I would prefer they were, my husband will have no part of it)
