I brought home a few new additions over the last few weeks, now I have my tanks stocked the way I want (for the most part, LOL).

The 72g custom reef in my bedroom houses:
Mandarin Goby
Scooter Blenny
Rainfords Goby
Yellow Coris Wrasse
Royal Gramma
Copperband Butterfly
Jan's Pipefish
Inverts of note: tuxedo urchin, pink and green filterfeeding cuke, pink filterfeeding cuke, flame scallop.
Bunch of corals

The 75g aggressive houses:
Zebra Moray
RED! Fuzzy Dwarf Lion
Marine Betta
Flame Angel
Inverts of note: deer cowrie, red knobby starfish, rock urchin, three rock anemones
Corals, mostly nasty tasting softies and shrooms

The frag systems are home to:

2 yellow tangs
yellow eye kole tank
target mandarin
inverts of note: two baby tuxedo urchins, strawberry crab
A whole mess of corals of all kinds.

Sadly, I lost my beautiful RBTA baby, he just vanished one day. Haven't seen him since. I am trying to get one more Jan's Pipefish, since they do better in pairs. Mine is well trained on cyclopeeze, and there are plenty of pods in my tanks.

I do, but it goes more like this

hey, what's that algae doing in there?
Ok, where did that *extremely rare and expensive* frag go (the joys of tuxedo urchins)
Dang, the eel knocked another rock over
*Looks for flame angel*, Hope the rock nem didn't eat it
Man, I need to clean the glass (this one can be bad, because then I have to clean ALL the tanks)
Grrr, skimmer is not working, must fix
Put that down! (tuxedo's again) followed by
Where did you put that frag?
Stop touching each other! (at night when sweepers are out)
Get off of there (tuxedo's, again)
Don't eat that (flame angel)
Eat this (moral eel)
Give that back! (lionfish, who steals food from eel)

It's kinda like a really wet kindergarten around here. With lots of very small damp children. Some with spines, some with toxins, some with both. And I spend lots of time on them. Yep, just like kids. They just don't take my truck and run around town like my two legged child used to do.
