Memories come back. And as they do, put them down. I could go back and tell my story. It's still hard for me. I started with a 60 and we upgraded to the 112. All because of heart breaking events.
This has been, helpful for me.

Going through build threads, seeing the work and efforts of others. I'm happy.

I would like a redsea if it wasn't so costly.

 

[shadow_k]

Right !? Like so what if I live on the 3rd floor with 3 fish tanks already… what’s 88 gallons gonna do pffft

88g isn't too heavy. Until you get to the 100g range, that's when things get scary on floor support.

Who knows. it could be a cheaply made apartment.

Extends like this for full spectrum.

Love the fish! What all do you have in there? I don’t think I’ve seen an updated list.

Redsea’s are super nice tanks, just expensive. :/

Yeah, it’s only 88 pure gallons of healthy sea water cascading through his building! :D

Is there any aggression between the 3 clowns? I hear some stories of people adding 3 clowns to their system, and then 2 will pair up and bully the other one.

No injuries. No torn scales or fins. The little one picks on the large female, sometimes! I worry when it gets bigger.

Can I change your mind on that? Your 3 females will eventually turn into 3 males and will likely fight to the death :eek:
Get one female and watch her turn into a beautiful male :D

I had read that 2 could stay female and 1 turn. If it's not true, i'll just get another male.

Female wrasses are hard to get.

It's true with leopard wrasses, but sadly not fairy wrasses. Females are less common because the divers don't catch them as often, they get more money for the pretty males, but if you can get a female that's the way to go because watching the transition is amazing!

Some pictures, from when I first come back to the hobby.
I figured, why not?
