80 gallon shallow lagoon mixed reef - upgrade time!

Great looking fish!

He’s definitely a show-stopper! I also love how much both of my fairy wrasses are out and about all the time during the day, swimming around the entire tank.

Quick tank video! Added a nicely shaped rock to the back right side of the tank today; I like how it adds a few more swim- through caves for the fish.

Jeff Goldblum (Biota YT) is the undisputed king of the tank now. He’s growing like crazy too, and has quickly become one of my favorite fish.

New video update, with an appearance from our newest fish, a yellowfin flasher wrasse!

Thanks! Great question, but that's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Beautiful! I'm looking to pick up a 80 gallon this weekend to play with this summer. Small world, wisconsin reefers unite! I'm in the Waukesha area but the wife is from Madison.

I was curious how your lights are mounted, I have 2 x hydra 26s that I want to use too!

Awesome, and thanks! You should check with Best Fish in Milwaukee. They had some Seapora 80 gallon lowboys left last year, and they’re running a 10% off sale on all Seapora tanks this weekend!

I had to look around a little, but I was able to find a couple of these older EXT mounts that attach to the back of the stand. Combined with a 12” EXT rail, they work great.

A few photos from the tank last week, playing around with my new macro lens (Canon RF 35mm f/2.8 IS STM).

A few sad updates for y’all. Two fish losses in the last couple months, both seemingly to injuries sustained from either running into or jumping into the glass. Leo, our copperband butterfly, and Barry Allen, our yellowfin flasher wrasse, are the two fish who are gone.

On a positive note, here’s a tank video from tonight for your viewing pleasure!

Happy news! A couple new fish additions last week
Tail spot blenny and Japanese Swallowtail Angel. The blenny has taken up residence in the corner of the tank furthest from our bicolor blenny’s favorite cave…coincidence? I doubt it. No aggression noted between them so far though. Definitely some angel chasing from our yellow tang, Jeff Goldblum, and our flame angel, Helios, but it seems to be gradually decreasing over the past few days finally.

Mando, our little @Biota_Marine baby blue mandarin is doing great! We’ve had him for about a month and a half now, and he’s grown by about 50% already.

Jeff Goldblum says hi as well.
