    Thanks! Bit of an update.t5s are in tomorrow and I will be picking them up. Still desiding if I will even be getting a coral tomorrow. If I do it will be a Kenya I think they look nice and everyone seems to like them. I might not get on at all just because the params were a nit weird after one of my shrimps died yesterday. But we will see

    What's up everyone! Happy day after Xmas! I haven't posted in here for a while!
    There is an updated stock list fir you guys I now have a carpenter flasher wrasse as of last week and a new brain coral frag!

    For Christmas my mom got me a 300 gift card to my LFS so I think I'm going today to look at corals, get a big bucket of salt and look at some HOB protein skimmers!

    Anyone have any thoughts on the last fish I should add? I already know what I will probably do but all ideas are still welcome ha

    Everything i looking good but, I would spread your rock apart a bit. It looks like you've crammed them as close together as possilble. The rocks need room for the water to flow through, it will help biological filter. Also this will give you more home for corals, fish and inverts. Look at these so you can tell what I am saying:

    Why don't you look online for a protein skimmer? I would go with a CPR BakPak or the Hydor if I were you. You could also look at getting a RO/DI system for you house as well. Do you have your tank covered? Wrasse's like to jump as well.

    Oh yeah, about the Kenya tree. Don't do it lol. I got some with a tank I purchased. They look nice, but they frag themselves and once they are in your tank, you can't get rid of them.
