Gabe's "New" 100 Gallon Mixed Reef

[GabeB]

Haven't been here in a little bit so here are some updated photos. Everything is doing great and growth has been good except for my frogspawn. I have lost a lot of heads quite slowly and haven't been able to pin down what it is. All of the other euphiliya seem to be doing fine. Additionally, @fishdoctor has been helping out with this tank.

These photos were also taken midday so the coral coloration is much better later in the day as you might expect. I will try to do a ~good~ photo shoot soon as the tank looks quite good it's just hard to capture on camera.

I still want to add more fish and have been slacking on that. The marine betta from @ThRoewer has been doing great and is an awesome fish. Comes out when I feed now but it used to be skittish. My mandarin goby is also doing very well and one of my favorite fish. I saw a blue ribbon eel today at clear water aquarium which tempting but now sure that is the smartest choice my tank..

I like that you keep everything inside the bottom eurobrace. It gives it an interesting and unique look.

No ribbon eel. Good choice

Helps with cleaning too! Plenty of space around the glass.

Any fish recommendations? Open to anything. Maybe thinking a yellow coris wrasse for pest control (I had a monti eating nudi outbreak, but it seems to have subsided). Wrasses worry me though because I still do not have a lid on the tank and prefer not having one.

without a top you stand a great chance of finding a wrasse on the floor

I prefer not to have a seat belt, it I wear one because it’s the right thing to do.
Maybe like 3-7 lyretail anthias I’d say.

I would love a nice little group of lyretails and I’ve tried before and just not had any success. They always seem to die in quarantine with me for some reason. I just do an observational quarantine usually. Just sucks cause they aren’t cheap either and I’m not sure why.

New corals from @H2OPlayar! I believe the lobo originally came from @IOnceWasLegend

My clownfish has never hosted my anemones for literal years and I had decided to remove all the anemones from my tank this week since they have become an annoyance and la and behold my clownfish finally decides to start hosting the anemones this week. So now I am not sure what to do... Leave the anemones for the clownfish or remove them all anyways.
