Always curious what other people have in their reef tank. Here's mine. 120 gallon tank a 40 gallon sump and a lot of Rock. For fish I have yellow tang, maroon clown, clarkii clown, neon dottyback, Starry blenny, yellowtail damsel, green chromis yellow Cori's wrasse, Carpenter wrasse Flame hawkfish Solon wrasse two pajama cardinal Coral Beauty Angel. For inverts I have coral banded shrimp cleaner shrimp fire shrimp peppermint shrimp Emerald crabs oh and mostly soft Coral. what's in your tank?
 
In my tank right now for fish I have all wrasses which includes a Cirrhilabrus lineatus, Cirrhilabrus isosceles (pintail fairy), Cirrhilabrus lunatus (crescent tail fairy), Halichoeres chrysus (yellow coris), Cirrhilabrus earlei and Cirrhilabrus spp (magma fairy or cherry fairy) For inverts I have handful of snails, 3 urchins, a blood shrimp and several berghia nudibranches. My coral consists of mostly zoas and softies and I have an abundance of aiptasia, hence the berghia. :p Oh, and I have one very nice mushroom ;)

On a different note, I lost a lot of expensive fish in my recent move and am now going through an SPS die-off. I'm still crying a river over my OP, WD, Pikachus and dozens more fancy acros with very expensive names. It's tough and I might soon be going towards FOWLR or bouncing altogether. Time will tell. :(

Wow Mike. I didn't know. I am really sorry to hear that. Boobs absolutely suck when it comes to tanks. Not boobs I said moves you dummy phone. I think boobs are always nice.

Suggest you include pictures of the tanks. Always better than reading a fish list.

That wrass list is a must see please share pics.
Sorry to hear about the losses, a sad part of the hobby.

Don't give up. I know it's tough.

We moved in July 2015, and lost a little bit in the move. Then with wedding stuff and work between Jan 2016-June 2016, our tanks saw some neglect.

We used some credit we had with a fish store, and didn't QT, and wiped out ALL of our fish over a month's time...pretty sad because we also lost the very first clownfish pair we had purchased from Puppy Center when we got into the hobby together. Then we moved again during Fragtoberfest this past year and lost just about all of our other corals....except those darn nuclear green deaths...I don't think anything will kill them.

To top it off, Our tank cracked on the corner during the move, so that made things worse.

Against our better judgement, we purchased a pair of maroon lightings at a steal at the end of the show in October...and unfortunately lost those too.

Hopefully getting our tank up and running soon... sucks to lose all the dang $$$$$$$$ but here's to new beginnings!
