Well It's been quite a journey...After upgrading my old 80 gallon saltwater Fish only tank to a 125 gallon reef tank this past April 2005 I have been quite pleased and rather fish crazy....
I have been doing saltwater since 6th or 7th grade....Now I just graduated from High School I'm now entering the reef arena just in the past year or so....
After establishing my tank about 8 months ago as well as upgrading my tank to metal halide from the undesirable JEBO pcs I had I would think my tank has been pretty okay....
I'am now getting all my rock covered with coraline the walls of my tank are showing with splotches of Purple coralline and I have a few corals here and there....
Everything seems to be alive...A few additions here and there...
-A LTA that is 12 inches in diameter from Minh ...
a few frogspawn, hammer,bubbles,a small acro frag that i though would die but seems to be growing but very slowly and what not...
But, to my suprise in the LTA after catching my mean 4 icnh Marron Clownfish ....My Domino Damselfish began hosting in it....Yes that is right a Domino fish is hosting in my LTA like a NEMO....Just before I got 2 percula clowns yesterday from exotic....
So, now I dont know what the 2 perculas would do since the fat domino took their natural home.....
Anways....my root concern is .....fish....I seem to gone fish crazy...
I always seem to envy those tanks on google searches that showed large schools of all different colored fishes.....
But, it seems this fish envy has transfered to my craziness...
Now I have a 125 gallon reef tank with about 150 to perhaps 200 pounds of live rock....
But here is a list of my fish....
1) Yellow Tang 4-5 inches
2) Blue Tang 5 inch
3) Blue Tang 4-5 inch
4) 1 fat 2 inch domino damselfish
5) another fat domino damselfish
6) yellowtail blue damselfish
7) another yellowtail damsel
8-12) 5 3 striped damselfish...They seem to school at times...
13) Coral Beauty Angelfish 4-5 inch
14) Fireball Angelfish... 3-4 inch
15)strawberry dottyback
16) A mandarinfish
17) 1 inch percula clown
18) a .7- 1inch percula clown mate...
19) one 2 inch un-identified damsel
20) my 4-5 inch marron clownfish that i moved to the sump area
21) my tomato clownfish a friend gave me that I also moved to an area in the sump...
>>>>>And i think that may be it unless I'am missing a fish or two<<<<
So what does every one think.....
:rollface: :rollface: :rollface:
To much fish ??? for a 125 gallon reef tank .....
