Paratore Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 More fish going in the system. This is my last batch of fish with some aggressive ones so they are all going in at the same time. Bio load will increase pretty significantly but the system should be able to handle it! Really excited to get some serious movement in the tank! Things being added: pintail wrasse, green wrasse, Flame angel, Japanese Yellow swallowtail, royal gramma. Maybe a blue/yellow damsel and a Pink damsel. Yes, some of these will outgrown the tank over time, but that’s ok because I will graduate them to my dads 180 Sent while trying to get my next coral fix..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcallmenny Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Nice additions, really like the Swallowtail. Always funny to see the names that get assigned to fish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Nice additions, really like the Swallowtail. Always funny to see the names that get assigned to fish. The swallow tail is awesome! Right now she is about a half dollar size, still needs to grow into her coloring a little Sent while trying to get my next coral fix..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisQ Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Love the Flame angel, i miss mine for sure, not sure i would have named mine Grace though She could be very much a butt head at times but never ate coral thankfully. Nice additions!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Like the look of that swallow tail (along with the pintail wrasse of course). Will be interested to see how it matures. Nice choices Cody! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailingeric Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Looks good and glad to see someone else with a Marineland 75 gallon tank! How is your blue tang doing? I want to get one but I am afraid of it getting too big for the tank too quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimusprime3605 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Funny how some people mistakenly think they have a rose but in fact, they have a BW. I was one of them, until a friend said, "you do know that you have Black Widows, right?" LOL... All 10 were BWs, still have them, too.

Paratore Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Little update for the Nem population. All three are getting along great and I’m in love [emoji7] Now I just need to find a sweet Ritteri and a blue carpet.

Paratore Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Small update. Tank is doing great! But my big momma BW split :/ so now I have two. And I also just finished QTing this huge Ritteri Anemone. It’s roughly 12” wide!! I built it an island rock to sit on so that it is my new “show piece” for now. I also just made connections to pick up a yellow tip Ritteri in a few weeks. This tank is definitely headed in a Ritteri dominated direction[emoji7]Sent while trying to get my next coral fix.....
