Hey Reefers!
Finally reaching the 1 year mark on my first full custom build and it’s coming along great! I’ve been in the hobby all my life thanks to my family and couldn’t imagine life without a tank . I’ve got 5 other established around the house as well (Reefs, QT, cichlid)
This Tank is 120gal reef with 30gal sump. 2x MP40s, Varios 6 Return, Elite 150 Skimmer, 3x XR15s G4, Apex, doser, etc.
Current inhabitants include:
- Sailfin Tang
- Powder Brown Tang
- Panther Grouper
- Blue Hippo Tang
- Melanarus Wrasse
- Formosa Wrasse
- Magnificent Foxface x2
- Coral Banded Shrimp
- Tux Urchins and Assorted CUC
Tank is pretty perfect at the moment and doesn’t necessarily need anything but I always look and wonder what else I could add to the tank to add more color and variety! The only barriers are the two resident predators, the panther grouper and the snowflake eel, who the former will attempt to eat anything he thinks he can fit in his mouth (attempted to eat the Nori Clip on several occasions lol.) He’s a bit of an ******* but has a great personality and I’ve had him for three years so he’s sticking around for the moment...
Thoughts include a harlequin tusk, possibly additional tangs (challenging as the PB and Sail are bullies), or additional wrasses.... Maybe a large Maroon (inedible size for the panther).... any suggesestions?!
Happy to send other pictures of the tank!
Thanks and Happy Reefing!
