Hello all!

My name is Mont and I'm originally from Cali, but have lived in Utah for what feels like ever ha. I've been into freshwater tanks and reptiles for probably 20 years. After about 2 years of study and research I decided to jump on board with the Saltwater. Started with a ten gallon tank with a clown and a firefish and after about a year and a half have gone through a 56 gallon and just set up a new 90 gallon last Friday. I currently have 2 saltwater tanks. The new 90 and my wife has a 12 gallon JBJ Cube that she loves. We also have 9 Crested Geckos. Only have 3 adults but their eggs started hatching instead of being infertile and within a period of about a month we now have 6 healthy and happy babies! That was a little bit of a surprise ha. I'll try and get some pics of the tanks up later. Not much to show for in my tank since the person I got the tank from failed to mention that the water they gave me was mostly RO water instead of Salt like they had said. So I lost most if not all my coral. :frusty: What I have left is in my wife's tank and is slowly being moved back over to mine. So I have to nip that loss in the butt and get my coral overdose back up lol.

But for fish this is what I got!
2 Ocellaris Clowns(One black and one normal) They are regular Nemo and Evil Nemo.
2 Regular Firefish.
1 Yellow Eye Tang(Most recent addition)
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse
1 Melanurus Wrasse
1 Christmas Fairy Wrasse
1 Mystery Wrasse
1 Clown Fairy Wrasse
1 Bartlett's Anthias
1 Bi-Color Anthias
1 Spotted Mandarin.

I know it is a bit overstocked but the fish are all small at the moment, largest is the yellow coris and mystery wrasse about 4" but other than that the fish all get along great! It's just fun to sit in the living room and watch the fish swim around.

My wife's tank has a Clown and a Helfrichi Firefish that she loves. If I were ever to add one more fish it would be one of those. They are so fun to water and have such a unique color pattern to them. Well that's it for me now! I look forward to meeting you all and looking at all your great tanks!

Welcome to R2R!! Can't wait to see pics!! :)
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome! I've super busy and haven't been able to get some decent picks but I will try to have some in the next couple days. Mike I will post some pics of the crested babies soon as well. They are hilarious to watch.

Reef boss I love the yellow eye tang. It is already darkening up in color and its spots are becoming more prominent. It has become a favorite fish of my wife and I.
