My Reef Video for Fish Lovers

A few months back I was considering converting my 210g tank to a FOWLR tank since its my love for fish that really got me into the hobby. I then made the decision that I will just get the fish I want and whatever happens to the corals will just happen. Amazingly the fish have not touched any of my corals! The short video below is the result. I am very pleased with how my tank and stock list has progressed. Some will feel that my tank is overstocked but that's my personal preference. The last fish I will be adding is a Quoyi Parrotfish once my LFS locates one for me.

Stocklist:
- Hippo Tang
- Yellow Tang X3
- Sailfin Tang
- Powder Blue Tang
- Blonde Naso Tang
- Tomini Tang
- Emperor Angel
- Queen Angel
- Flame Angel X2
- Coral Beauty
- Potters Angel
- Bi-color angel
- Bluethroat Trigger
- Melanarus Wrasse X2
- Red Coris Wrasse
- Lightning Wrasse
- Yellow Wrasse
- Harlequin Tusk
- Clarkii Clownfish
- Percula Clownfish X2
- Lyretail Antias X2
- 6 Assorted Damsels

So you can guage the size of my fish my blonde naso is about 8 inches

Enjoy!

i dont think it looks to over crowded. all the fish are near the algae sheet. when he panned to the right side of tank, there was plenty of room. even if he had more rock in there. seems liked fish would be fine with room... that colt coral is huge tho lmao....tank looks good...

super cool, always good to see a little bit different slant on what to put in a tank. A few bartlets would also be nice.

How long have the fish been together? Is there any aggression between the angels?
I think your tank is beautiful by the way, I'am just wondering how all the fish get along.

Hippo, sailfin, Naso and yellow have been together for 3 yrs. Powder blue, 2 yellow tangs and tomini have been added over the course of the past year. The emperor has been with me for 2.5 years and the queen 6 months. The angels don't even pay attention to each other the only fish my emperor occasionally bothers is my bicolor angel and I have no idea why.

I had a beautiful 8" vlamingi that I had to remove after 6 months because my Naso was just not playing nice

I will add that I feed my fish at least 5-6x a day...that may help curb some of the aggression

Thanks! I'm pretty sure its the heavy feeding that keeps them fat and healthy.
