Awesome tank! I have the same size and shape i'm setting up at the moment. What kind of fish are you considering?

Yah I know what you mean about the fish variety, i'm facing the same dilemma myself. How long has you tank been up and running?
 
nice. get a pic if you can. they are speedy lil buggers

Will do. I have to get some batteries for the camera. Soon as I do I'll take some pics :).

Speedy lil bugger is right. This guy is all over the place. He keeps wedging himself through the smallest cracks and holes. I keep thinking he's going to get stuck, but he gets through.
 
I picked up some frags from a local Reefer today.
Hammer Coral ( about 10 heads)
Three Monti
Green Slimer
A couple Palys

These are my first SPS frags. They were pretty cheap, but the Monti frags were just broken off the colony. I put them on the plugs myself when I got home. I hope I did a decent job.


There is a patch of algae growing on the sand. A hermit died and I didn't notice right away. I've since moved a powerhead to get more flow to the spot. I think I may also need a larger CUC now that I'm feeding Mysis daily for the Wrasse.

Here are some pics:
