I really like the setup, looks great!

I have just one concern...

The Trigger and Puffer may not bother the shark.......yet.

It most likely is only a matter of time before one of them samples an eye or doesn't like having a fish that big in it's space when they get bigger. I just don't want to see you have a eyeless shark. I used to have a bamboo shark with a passer angel and the angel nipped one of my sharks eyes. The eye has mostly healed and continues to heal, but I consider myself lucky. Many times the eye gets damaged too badly or a secondary bacterial infection and kill the fish.

So i took your advice and took the marble in to the LFS where i got him and got credit. I didnt want to see if it would work out and it be too late and have a one eyed marble shark. Now im at a loss on what to get.

Good move.

You have many options, a Tang, Angel, Wrasse, etc. Go to Liveaquaria and look and see what you like. You can post the fish that you like and people could help with what would be compatible and have enough space.

Just read this entire thread. Awesome job, man. I'm just getting into salt, so this is a big inspiration for me. Great work.
