Been following this on Instagram, and it is looking amazing!

What's your current fish stock list? Fish are what brought me into the hobby, but the corals are what keep me in.

yellow tang
Swallowtail Angel
2 - red margin fairy wrasses
2 - blue throat fairy wrasses

for the moment I am laying low on fish. The price on them is very high right now due to limited flights because of Covid. This has inflated shipping cost immensely.

Currently, I have about 3 frag racks with a total of 40 frag‘s in the frag rack for evaluation. I have them separated by how they look. If they start looking really good they get moved up onto the reef. Problem is, more Frags keep showing up. Haven’t figured out a way to solve that problem. #reeferproblems

I feel ya'... any special fish that you're keeping an eye out for? I'm stocking my tank as we speak and taking the opposite approach as you. Stocking the tank with most of the fish I want first, then I'll move onto adding the corals. My young kids are not as impressed with corals as they are with fish yet.

I would really like to get about 20 Red saddled anthias (flavagutatus). A pair of rhomboid wrasses, purple tang, and a powder blue tang.
