    So any ideas for the first fish? I was going to buy a Canary Blenny the other day, but I kept watching it try to jump out of the LFS' DT, so I avoided it :p

    I had been wanting one for a while now. I think I'll talk to my LFS about trying to get one in. The only thing is that they are a bit expensive, well for me anyways, and I don't want my parents getting upset over it :p I had been thinking of just getting a trio of Chromis and then adding a pair of Clowns after because the goal was to keep the tank minimalist and simple, but I guess I should have a bit of diversity in the tank. We'll see :) And thanks! It was super exciting seeing the tests all check out.

    skip the Chromis.. although cool I think you could utilize you space with something a little more interesting.

    Very true. I guess I need to keep thinking this through.

    ya take your time no rush.. after all you waited this long ;). However I will always agree with a nice pair of clowns.. truly they are characters.

    Save some cash for reef-a-palooza end of April

    Clowns are definitely part of the plan. I've always loved them. And yeah, I'm going to Reef-A-Palooza, MACNA, and CoralCon, so I'll definitely be picking out some nice pieces for this tank :)

    well Cam, you are quite a well traveled reefer :) lucky duck! I know the flame hawk is expensive. I actually broke my rule to buy one. It is such a cool little fish. what type of clowns are you thinking about getting?

    I try my best to get around ;) That's actually the reason I can't spend too much on fish. Gotta save some money for corals and travel haha. As far as Clownfish go, I'm not really sure. Occasionally my LFS runs a special where any "designer" Clown is $40, so I may wait until then to get a pair.

    I'm thinking a Royal Gramma may be the first fish.

    wow, that is great. You need to get Wyoming whites if they're part of that deal!
