Your 100 gal reef looks great,so don't stop now. If my 3 angels went I'll just replace them. Keep on Reefing !

Not as simple as that due to the cost / rarity of the fish Ruth lost.

How is the rest of the tank recovering Ruth?

Seems to be OK. I recovered the bodies of all with the exception of the Goldflake and he was the smallest. I am skimming really wet right now and I have a BK 500 on this tank so it is doing the job. All inverts and the 3 remaining fish look OK although the anemones are a bit shriveled. I am not getting any ammonia or nitrite reading and my nitrates have always been fairly high in this tank (just due to the fish that were in it).

Yeah the cost of replacing those fish is over $3500 so it won't be happening any time soon even if I could find them.

Which fish made it?

My huge Blonde Naso Tang, my mandarin and my Gold Stripe Maroon. Lost were my Goldflake Angel, Conspic. Angel, Moorish Idol and 2 Helfrichi firefish.
