Loving the Angels!!! Your the reason the wife and I want the Regal and Queen Angels. Absolutely loving your set up! I've tried and tried for years to get the wife to allow my new build and all it took was for her to see a few of your tank pictures and explaining why they require a larger tank and no corals like our 240, and to my surprise she said as long as she can have similar Angels make it happen!
I vote @4FordFamily for 2020!!!
Here's a catchy slogan for you
Let's Make Saltwater Great With The Family Again!!! ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

Thanks, I have a regal angel but I don’t think she will do well with the others. It’ll probably go in my 180 reef :)

Didn't think the Regal was reef safe
They’re not, but many don’t eat coral, and those that do don’t ravenously eat it like other angels. I’d say they’re as reef safe as a coral beauty angel, perhaps more so. That’s just my experience!

Today I cut egg crate to cover the holes in the top and made holes for the return lines. This should keep those wrasscals in!

Large batch one underway. Several fish still hiding, but here is a photo dump:

Thanks @HotRocks, you did well! These guys survived flukes, velvet, infections, who knows what else. Flukes took a toll on a few of them but they’re improving!

Sounds like someone is jealous they don’t have a Kyle. Lol
Nah... but his build is coming together so nicely it's hard to find things to give him a hard time about.

Of course, this is Reef2Reef, not Fowlr2Fowlr, so the harassment will continue. ;Troll
