OK, you get Opsanus b/c I never passed my diving class and I'll have Morgan. I think ALL the people here with the cool aquatic jobs need to take on RS apprentices.

Re: Natural Sunlight tanks

In the center bowl there are only 3 fish;
1-Pygmy angel/Cherub fish, (Centopyge argi)
1-Purple Reef fish(Chromis scotti)
1-Fringed File fish(Monacanthus ciliatus).

I am just respecting bio-loads until I have most sessile inverts(I desire) in place.
(planting the garden before I add all the birds and bees).
The system is still within it's first year,(only seven months).

The second bowl has a few more fish;
1-large Doctorfish(Acanthurus chirurgus)
1-Flamefish(Apogon maculatus)
6-Creole Wrasse(Clepticus parrae)
1-Blue Chromis(Chromis cyanea)
2-Browm Chromis(Chromis multilienata).
