Yeah the red spot blenny is a hoot. He’s like the cranky old guy yelling at the kids. Stay off my lawn!

Annual Update
Well, January is here again and it marks the 2nd anniversary of the "new" tank as well as the 4th anniversary of my GSPs' jump into saltwater.
Everyone is doing well, and I'm fully into coral addiction. I'm doing what I said I never would do, which is spending silly money on colourful sticks. The good thing is I'm doing well enough to sell frags here and there, which helps me offset the spending. The fish gang are very happy living together, with Gary the yellow tang being the most obnoxious one at feeding time, always trying to hog every little bit. Petey the Valentini is super chill, just minds his own business, and Puff Diddy rules the tank with a benevolent hand. So far so good...
Happy reefing!

Notable events of 2019: Clowns hosted (and spawning regularly) and mandarins find love (also spawning regularly):

Re: Tank Journal - puffers & tankmates
I feel very lucky but I still get nervous every morning walking down to the tank. I just keep feeding them like emperors lol.
Tank measures 72x18x20, about 110 gal.
Yeah I got bit hard. I also just started a little 25 gal temperate softies tank so now I’ve got multi tank syndrome as well. Hard to believe you helped me set up my first tank 4 years ago - I didn’t know live rock from a potato!
