My tank is a little over a year old - 100 gallon 48*24*20. I've been struggling with coral growth, and honestly am a little over trying to figure it out and dial it in. I just haven't made the time, and realistically I really enjoy my fish more than my coral (except my xenia - I love the xenia). The only coral that are doing well and growing are my xenia, hammer, and Kenya Tree. But - my frogspawn, zoas, gsp, trumpet, and duncan all look like crap and have for several weeks - not dead, but not growing - just kind of stagnant.
Current fish are: 1 clown, 1 lyretail, 1 diamond goby, 1 midas blenny, 1 cucumber, 1 cleaner shrimp, 2 hermits, and various snails.
My next reefsafe fish were going to be 2 firefish and 2 bangaii's. But - I'm kind of becoming frustrated with the corals and am not sure if I want to limit my next fish purchases on coral safe fish.
Here's my question - what are some must have fish for FOWLR tanks that I can add? If I lose corals - then so be it. I'm interested in butterfly's and angels - am I limited to one or the other? I'm hoping to hear suggestions on fish you would love to have - but have opted out of since you have a reef tank.
Thanks for the help!
