Due to a series of vacations over the summer, my tanks barely received any attention and the people feeding them and watching over them weren't extremely experienced and a lost about half of my fish over the last two months. I was thinking about getting the same fish as replacements, which I will for some, but it's not often that you have a chance to get a whole new set of fish. So I'm thinking of changing up a little, but I'm not quite sure what. I'm just looking for some suggestions before I go buy a big heaping pile of mistakes. I currently have a 75 gallon non reef with live rock tank and a 90 gallon mixed reef tank. I also have a 150 fresh water tank but that's for a different place. The 75 is 3 years old and the reef is 1 1/2 years old. Both are established with healthy copepod populations and are very stable after lots of cleaning when I returned. I'm going to wait a few weeks before I buy these fish, but I'd like to get some ideas down now. So yeah. Suggest away :p
The 75 has (left):
1 Melenarus Wrasse
1 Black and White clown
1 yasha goby (paired with shrimp)
A largish cleaner crew of many snails, hermit crabs, conchs, some small crabs, some starfish, sea urchins, and a couple other creatures.
The 90 reef has (left):
I snowflake clown
1 dartfish
1 purple striped pipefish (a hardy type of pipefish)
A similar cleaner crew without the coral eaters like starfish
For the reef tank I'm thinking about another fairy wrasse (which I lost) or some other type of wrasse and maybe another mandarin. For the 75 and angelfish maybe but other than that I'm open. I'd love a blue or yellow tang but it's just to small. Sorry this is so long.. I had a lot to say :clown:
