Hello reefers, I used to be in the hobby when I was 11-13 years old and just got back into it almost a year ago. Tested it out with a 24 gallon AIO and now I have 5 holding tanks, a UNS 150 reef and soon will be setting up a Crystal Dynamics 375 gallon glass tank. My passion in this hobby are the angelfish. And unlike many hobbyist, I prefer when they are very small! Of course I love the adults as well and would like to one day have a pair or two but unsuccessful so far... My two young regals are coexisting really well but will see how that goes. I will try to post a video of my gaggle of emperor angels. Seeing if any of them will tolerate each other long term / pair up. (and before anyone loses their mind that I have put multiple emperors together irresponsibly, I am monitoring them daily as I work from home...they sit on my desk... and if any aggression occurs they will be separated.) I do like corals but mostly keep simple leathers for now... mostly because my fish are not interested in them. I have a few Colorado Sunburst nems as well. It's great to have a resource like R2R. Such a wealth of information from very experienced hobbyists / industry professionals. Wishing you all the best with your reefs/fish. Regards, Mark
