You know... it's funny I was JUST looking at a Christmas wrasse. I will get one this week. I got a few questions for those with experience.

Current Livestock:

1 Small Blue Hippo Tang
1 Small Sailfin Tang
1 Pink Anthias
2 False Percs
1 Firefish Goby
1 Green Chromis-- will be adding 5 more this Friday.
1 Yellow (not so yellow anymore) watchman goby--- I want to buy him a mate... but not sure how to pick any ideas?

1 Flame Angel-- Dom, can I add one of your Potter's Angels or an African Flameback Angel with this guy? He seemed pretty mellow when the tank I got him from had like 4 other flame angels.

1 Peppermint Shrimp-- will be adding 2 more if I can get to Manhattan Aquariums this weekend
1 Cleaner Shrimp... will be adding a mate for him soon

Future Potential Livestock:
1. Male flasher wrasse
2. Red Head Solon fairy wrasse
3. 3 Small Yellow Tangs (maybe)
4. Potter's Angel... if possible.
6. Anthias triplet (Lyretail)

You'll probably have to re-home the tangs when they get larger. IMO, two angels in a 72 gallon carries a lot of risk. I wouldn't do it but do not have any personal experience to reference.

Interesting. Yea I know I'll have to rehome the tangs in the future. That's why I got them tiny :P. I don't mind doing it either.

I really love those angels. My best shot would've been to do it when I first set up the tank. This flame angel seems REALLY mellow... I probably won't go through with it lol.

To Chanman's comment. Yea at my prime I had 25 fishes and they were all well and happy! Then.... I went to the bahamas for a month and a half to study marine biology... going away for that long + a reef tank = NO GOOD!

Thanks a lot Awibrandy :). Well after getting my stuff in order. AKA removing hermit crabs that knock everything over... .and getting over a yellow tang death. Here are some pictures! I just scraped the glass hehe.

ONLY GOING TO ADD a few more FISH!!! (some of which some people will hang me).
--exchanging my Sri Lankan Christmas Wrasse for a Fiji one.
--Royal Gramma
--The Pink anthias (rare) will be coming out. I will be getting a trio of bartlett anthias when my finances allow me to.
-- The last fish.... mystery... because I know some MR members will murder me lol.

Added quite a few corals and redid some of the rocks. The island look wasn't working for me. I need caves and bridges.

- Reaquascaped the right side of the tank!
-Added even more frags I cannot count lol.
-Most importantly... MORE FISH!!! lol
- Also.... very very near future projects where I have some pretty unique ideas lol.
