Hello everyone!

My name is Chris and I am a new reefer :) . I have been keeping freshwater fish for ~10+ years and finally made the leap to saltwater!

Current Set Up (Started on 7/2019):
95 gallon wave aquarium
RedSea50 ReefLEDs (2)
Reef Octopus Classic BH-2000 HOB Protein Skimmer
AquaClear 110
AquaTop Wave Maker

LiveStock (Fish):
Yellow Tang
Blue Hippo Tang
Ocellaris clownfish (2)
Yellow watchman goby
Tiger pistol shrimp
Blue legged hermits (4)
Brittle stars
Recent additions:
Mandarin goby
Cleaner shrimp

Corals:
Toxic hammer
Purple tip hammer
Frogspawn
Pink torch (cristata)
Acans (rainbows, blues, oranges)
Green favia
Green candy cane
Pulsing Xenias
Green toadstool leather
Pink finger leather
Kenya Tree coral
Green goniopora
Ricordea Mushrooms
Pocillopora
Some kind of montipora
Some kind of leptoseris

Currently learning to culture some copepods for the new mandarin dragonet. The reef is full of them, covering every rock when I take a peek when the lights are off.

Planning to swap or give the tangs back to my lfs because they have grown a lot in 8 months. Starting to notice some territorial disputes and a bit of aggressive behavior :(
I think their stress is leading to signs of head lateral line disease. Starting to combat that with larger water changes and soaking their nori/mysis in selcon. Hoping that will help them improve! Any other suggestions for HLLE?

Thanks for reading!
Chris
