    +1, although I gave up after 15 minutes scrubbing each overflow on mine. Now the old coralline fits right in.

    Haha I am gonna fill it with heavy vinegar water solution. Turn on pumps and let everything run and soak with that for a day or so. Then try scraping it again. How much water should I run through it after to make sure all vinegar is out?

    I usually scarpe it, then hit it with something rough then scrape and it comes right off. Its a glass tank right? then a razor should make quick work of it.

    What does your stock list look like?

    I like powder browns- can you get them locally?

    I love my harlequin tusk. Other then than hogfish are super cool (lyretail, cuban, spanish). Maybe a Dragon wrasse or a Niger trigger? I would also add more anthias- a big school would be sweet

    My athias is a jerk. She killed 3 females I tried to add with her. Haha. And are harlequin tusks reef safe? Are they agressive? And my fish store can usually get anything in that i ask so hopefully!

    I just ask because I have seen really awesome powder browns and some meh ones

    Harlequin tusks won't pick at corals but could eat shrimp etc. Mine doesn't, and I hear most don't, but once in awhile you get one that does.

    Maybe get a few and put them in the new tank first? with more swimming room you think it would be ok.

    A bunch of domino damsels would be cool.... I love the way they flash when swimming

    Haha I am having some issues with leveling the tank atm. Have small pump till my diablo 3500 comes in and water is only going down 1 overflow. Hopefully the bigger pump will remedy this.

    And yea was thinking a school of blue/green chromis would be cool. Deff getting the powder brown, and maybe a harlequin tusk ;) lol

    So possible additions:
    5 lyretail anthias
    powder brown tang(compatible with kole tang?)
    yellow eye kole tang
    harlequin tusk(gotta do some research on this guy, make sure he wont kill my other fish)
