You tank is absolutely amazing @danieyella!! We’ve discussed our terribly placed overflow before but you have created a tank that provides so many beautiful things to focus on; it’s not even noticeable!
Can you tell me what you have for flow?
What is your fish list currently?!

...taking notes...

Fish list:
1 Marine Betta
1 Tomini Tang
1 Chocolate Tang
2 very rude clownfish
3 Pajama cardinal
2 yellow-tail blue damsel (actually really chill compared to most damsels)
1 engineer goby
1 canary wrasse
1 bicolor blenny
1 lantern basslet
1 royal gramma
1 filefish (unfortunately going to be removed soon because it was caught nipping zoas and rfa)

What coral is the tentacle one?

If you mean the one in her last picture, that’s an elegance coral. A very nice one at that.

Yesss that's my brand new elegance. Hopefully it continues to do this well. Thank you!

There's a 2nd cave on the other side of the tank, here he is in that one.

Finally got my dream fish in the tank. Really this is the last fish addition I was going for. I had one for about 4 months previously that mysteriously died with no signs as to why, so fingers crossed this guy does better. So far the tangs are afraid of him and keeping their distance.

Beautiful fish, thinking of getting one also.
I do have a red crescent tail grouper that should grow to be a looker as well.

I would love to see photos!

I would love to see photos!

He's only 4-5" so he hides from all the big players in my tank but here is a pic from today.

He's gonna be gorgeous when he gets bigger!

How do you like your marine beta? I’ve been looking at them lately and I’m wanting a fish with that color pattern, and a leopard wrasse seems like it’s a little bit more delicate than a marine betta?

I love him, he's pretty shy compared to the other fish and it took a little bit to get him eating at first but he does well now. He comes out mostly in the evening and ramp up/down and stays back in the cave when lights are at peak. During feeding he will do a quick swim through now, but I haven't had him very long - I suspect he'll come out more and more as he gets more comfortable.

A starry blenny might be one to consider. Much more hardy than a leopard wrasse but has a similar pattern as the marine betta

As some of my reefing mentors know, my husband isn't the most supportive of this hobby. He's getting better, but he's still, hmmmm, shall we say a tight butt when it comes to spending money on tanks ;Hilarious . Right now, my focus is getting him to spend the money to get the 75 set up and running. I'm at the "I need sand and rock" stage of the build. I have to pick my battles, and I think its wisest to hold off on the RFA's for the time being LOL

worse things you could be spending money on.

I don’t think my Midas Benny will allow another. He’s full of attitude!

Another reason I’m probably holding off on marriage. I WANT REEF FREEDOM!!! If I wanna eat ramen and have lots of coral then so be it

wrong wrong wrong......
when you get married you get duel income. and only one of you does the finances. hint: IT'S YOU
then you get what you want. and when she asks you just say, can't afford it this month. and then when she asks about the tank "is that new?" of course not. it's been there the whole time.

I have a starry blenny. Main character of the tank after just a few days, hangs out with the clowns and has that very cool pattern. I also have a ywb they are getting along fine.

Duel income is the way! There is a thing called DINK which is duel income no kids.

Fortunately for my life but unfortunately for my tank's budget my wife is a CFP and does all the finance stuff.

Do you like the height of the 90? I want to go higher from my 75 but not sure if the extra 3” is worth it. My scape is already higher than the waterline, oh brother

Only standard size higher than that is a 110 which would be 6” higher than the 90, seems unmanageable.

I am short folk, so idk if I could go any deeper than this. Reaching in to the bottom of this one is already an effort as is.

If they kill this, the way they kill every torch I've ever had once they discover it - I will be evicting them once and for all.
