Your planned stocking is insanely nice, I hope you get most (or all) of that in there. I really like the chevron tang and that golden rhomboidalis wrasse is SICK!

I also really like those ORA extreme misbars as well. I was thinking about some of those before I settled on the true percs I found locally.

I am hoping that if I can get my biopellet reactor up and running soon, that stocking like that will be possible.

The fairy wrasses are the hardest part I think...apparently wrasse agression will be high, especially with the large tusk, and the mystery wrasse, which I now think will be the last wrasse added.

Other than that I am doing 20g h2o changes a week to keep up with nutrient demand in the system.

Should be a sweet tank, but getting it all in place will probably take me around a year stocking wise.

Still got to get another media reactor, a kalk reactor, and a ATO.

Going to first try to do this whole thing on h2o changes...20g a week right now has brought h2o to within 10ppm of nitrates.

Now we will continue to stock, and see where we can keep it.

In other news...attempts to remove my lionfish, and get my hippo tang out of my 75 to move it into this tank will be taking place this weekend.

Lionfish attempt one was a failure, but it was due to lack of patience, I had to get to work in ten minutes!

Fosters and Smith Diver's Den open house on the 26th of this month...maybe I will bring something back for you guys to see!

:D

wow man, its coming along nicely. (thanks for the addendum btw)

I think your stocking list is kick ass. Of course, there are rules in reefkeeping, more just, you know, more like, general guidelines.

Thanks bro, you know I always press the rules. I plan on doing this slowly...and carefully waiting for exactly what I want every time.

Next time man, Dustin and I are carpooling this one...we should come check out your tank someday. Jamaica (although I have never been there) looks gorgeous and is a dream destination. Have fun.

Those are nice pics...
You havent seen anything yet. This tank is short about ten fish and more than ten frags for full stocking.

Then we have to wait a couple years for colony grow out. Thanks so far though, keep coming back!
