Samantha's 100 Gallon Mixed Reef

so exciting! Everything is looking great and the clowns look safe with the monti

Cannot wait to restart this tank already. but patience

Great pictures! Corals and fish look happy. I especially like the one of Harry

Thanks, guys!

Yeah, my clowns have been hosting that monti since I got them about 3 years ago. They've had options for frogspawn, hammer coral, an ACTUAL anemone, but they don't care. They're happy in their monti.

And, thanks for the compliment about the photo of Harry, Dan. It's so hard to get a good pic of him because he's always darting around the tank.

Some new additions that I picked up at Creative Aquariums. Been eyeing these for awhile! And, I’ve always wanted an anemone! SCORE!!

Wild Pokerstar Monti:


Mystic Sunset Monti:


Green Hydnophora:


And...drumroll...My first anemone!


Pic of my RBTA eating a silverside. Sorry for the bad pic (Cell phone + Actinics = Bad)

WOW GREAT SHOTS!!!! Your fish seem to be a lot more photogenic than mine are

You really make me want to get one of these going I can't wait to see how it goes through the rest of the semester!

I've got to get more research done though

How do you get the Zoas to propigate ?

Thanks, Drew! (Nice new avatar, btw)

You SHOULD start a saltwater tank! Zoas are pretty simple. They just reproduce asexually by budding off another polyp.

Picked up some Magician’s Palys at Creative Aquariums a couple of weeks ago. Couldn’t help myself. Hoping 5th times the charm! So far so good!

Current FTS! (Finally got this thread up to date!)

amazing sam

Thanks, Wes!

That is probably the best tank I have ever seen

Thank you

More new corals!

I think he must mean Fungia

I never get tired of checking out this thread.....

Well, I have a sad news update...

A few days back one of my clowns went missing. It's now been long enough that I'm pretty sure Sydney has passed. Pretty devastated about it. Sean & Sydney were a pair I've had for about 3 years, and now Sean seems awfully alone in his montipora...

I'm so sorry to hear that

Do they bond for life ?

No, so there is a chance I could pair the male with another female. You just don't really see naked clownfish at stores around here, which complicates things.

...I guess if anyone sees a naked clownfish or some leopard wrasses (bipartitus) at any of the LFS, let me know...

wait so clowns and wrasse can mate or just the clowns you had mated and you are looking for some leopard wrasses im confused

No, they can't mate. I've been looking for leopard wrasses, but now I'm also looking for a clown.
