    I turned out pretty great actually. I used all but one smaller piece of the marco order. Tons of space for all the smaller fish so swim hide and hangout. Now to fill it and dump in my Dr. Tims. My nano had a quick cycle with the API Quick start and thats garbage, so I figure the one and only should work nicely.

    Really looking forward to seeing this tank wet! Beautiful rock work and such a big tank! I'm sorry if you've already said (I think you were wanting rare species) but what are your stock plans? - it said your fish are already ready to go?

    Brett at nicewrasse.com is holding a swissgaurd basslet and a blue assessor for me right now. I have a yellow tail tamarin I'm looking at in a bit, but im going with alot of wrasse. Leopards, Tamarins, Fairy wrasse mostly. I toyed with the idea of a quoyi parrotfish but I don't think I will. I might get an uncommon bristletooth tang, and maybe a small gem if I can find one.

    no.... this is the hard part..... Shin is kind of a jerk and keeps forcing me into SPS again. This may be my SPS tank and the other more lps and softy. Those Island are amazing for acros

    Exactly what I was thinking about the scape.

    I need to go back and see if you are using the Radions on this tank, you should take them off the other tank.

    Yeah has to be rough with Shin offering you nice acorpora. If you get a Strawberry Shortcake before me, well :angry:

    I dont really want to move the radions. I am a total ecotech fanboy so IF i move them then the whole set up will be ectotech with their new controller. Then I would put the Reefangel on the old 125g again.

    My wife is looking forward to clams again so I need to figure out a long term solution to lighting the new 125
