About a week and a half ago, I went to one of my lfs to pick up an emerald crab and a turbo. While I was there, of course I had to see what they had for fish. One of the tanks was labeled for a pink streak wrasse but it didn't have a price. I gave the guy a hard time, because he knew I had been wanting one. He's been requesting them from his supplier since at least August. He told me that he had thought that the fish had died, he hadn't seen it for over a week, and that he had just "found" it late the day before. I told him to bag it up, I'm taking it home. I figure that it was meant to be lol. So I'd like you all to meet Speedy!

She's in with Hope and Franklin, and they accepted her with no fuss at all. I love to see how brave she's getting. Even now, she's zipping around in and out of the rocks. She's also very curious. Whenever I go to look in the tank, she comes to the front of the rocks and looks right back at me lol

Thank you! And I agree, Speedy is adorable ;Happy I've been watching her go in and out and around the rock structure that she has claimed. She's such an interesting little fish

I'll have to wait until the herd of buffalo that are my children go to a different part of the house for a decent amount of time. She's getting braver, and was exploring the other half of the tank this morning, but I wasn't able to get pics

So, I forgot to get pics of Speedy until right now. Unfortunately, one of the buffalo (the smallest, loudest one) is hanging out in the room right now, so she's not wanting to come out. The pics aren't very good. I'll try to remember to get better ones after Ronan goes to bed

I see you!

So... I have just spent 4 good hours reading through this thread as I'm also correctly in the early phase of setting up my (new to me) 75g bowfront with Fx4 into a reef tank. I've learned a lot, was confused a bit and often had no idea what was actually being talked about.

Key takeaway, even though my 75 is also tempered on 5 sides, HOB protein skimmers are a thing.. I had no idea. Going to have to do some research here.. thanks all.
Key#2, I think my tank is over filled w fish

Key#3 I need better friend. Y'all send each other cool ****. My friends are done hearing about my tank.

@sfin52 I'll be looking to source a pair of clowns in the next 2-3 months. May I send you a dm?
