I think it's great and beautiful

Good day everyone and welcome to my build. I hope some of you find it interesting and possibly informative as well. Should have started this months ago but better late than never so here goes. I've documented and photographed almost every stage in this aquariums life so there may be a lot of...

Memories come back. And as they do, put them down. I could go back and tell my story. It's still hard for me. I started with a 60 and we upgraded to the 112. All because of heart breaking events.
This has been, helpful for me.

Going through build threads, seeing the work and efforts of others. I'm happy.

He’s adorable ! I need a bigger tank now but my landlord will kill me I wanna get a 40 breeder or this !

Reefer XL 425 System (88 Gal)

Going from the top of the Reefer XL system down to the bottom, the first thing you will notice is the crystal clear glass and elegant beveled edges. The second thing you may or may not notice is the slim overflow that houses all the drain and return plumbing to keep the water a constant level...

I would also keep the nano for a QT frag tank

I would like a redsea if it wasn't so costly.

 

[shadow_k]

Right !? Like so what if I live on the 3rd floor with 3 fish tanks already… what’s 88 gallons gonna do pffft

 

[Goaway]

88g isn't too heavy. Until you get to the 100g range, that's when things get scary on floor support.

Who knows. it could be a cheaply made apartment.

Starting to really like how the full tank view looks.

Right.

Also, I was sure the bta was turning yellow, no. He's turning red/orange.

Extends like this for full spectrum.

Love the fish! What all do you have in there? I don’t think I’ve seen an updated list.

Redsea’s are super nice tanks, just expensive. :/

Yeah, it’s only 88 pure gallons of healthy sea water cascading through his building!

Is there any aggression between the 3 clowns? I hear some stories of people adding 3 clowns to their system, and then 2 will pair up and bully the other one.

No injuries. No torn scales or fins. The little one picks on the large female, sometimes! I worry when it gets bigger.

Can I change your mind on that? Your 3 females will eventually turn into 3 males and will likely fight to the death
Get one female and watch her turn into a beautiful male

I had read that 2 could stay female and 1 turn. If it's not true, i'll just get another male.

Female wrasses are hard to get.

It's true with leopard wrasses, but sadly not fairy wrasses. Females are less common because the divers don't catch them as often, they get more money for the pretty males, but if you can get a female that's the way to go because watching the transition is amazing!

Some pictures, from when I first come back to the hobby.
I figured, why not?
First ugly phase.



Never could get a clear close up.
