    There might be an issue but I will probably put them both in at the same time and hope for the best. I've seen them live in harmony before. So I'm not too worried.
    The Achilles tang is the one that I'm concerned about.

    Oh man!! Look at all those goodies!!

    I'm going to need to see a video once you get all your water movement contraptions up and going. It appears you have the market covered for water movement! haha

    And the fish, this is one thing I do wish I could run a bigger tank for, those big ole fish.

    Lookin awesome!

    The market is definitely covered. The maxspect wasn't planned but it came along.
    I think I like it the most. May decide to put one on the other side of the tank and sell the vortechs or use them on another tank.

    Installed pretty much everything today. But as you all know, problems always arise.
    Vortechs work perfectly. I just have to figure out this "master-slave" thing.
    The uv sterilizer leaked (bummer) but the vendor has already sent out a replacement body for me. Was not expecting such a hassle free resolve.
    next I decided to put on the sea swirl. I got a PVC check valve because I worry that my sump will overflow in the event of a power outage. Really poor plumbing skills on that project. I may decide to do it over to make it look a bit more tidy.
    On to the chiller. Initially I wated to put it outside the house for more ventilation but I had no idea how to go about busting a hole in the wall so I opted to placing it under the stand. It worked out well but the heat in the living room is concerning. I have the temp set at 78.5F.
    I left out the jebao pumps for now. I may use them on a client's tank or I may just keep them for myself... Not sure yet.
    Pictures to come in a bit.
    Thank you all for reading.

    Thank you all for the kind words. I'm so so so happy I've actually gone big this time. A sand bed would help me get all the wrasses I want but maybe sometime in the furture I will consider another sand bed setup.

    Thankfully everything worked out in my favor. I haven't attempted to understand those mp40's as yet but maybe if I will tomorrow. I will message you if I run in to issues. Thanks for the offer :)

    If only I were living in the US. I'm in the market for frags and you, wavemakers. Shipping from Trinidad to you would be ridiculous...
    My wife and I plan on moving to Florida within the next few years. I simply can't wait :)
