    Here are some quick shots I took this evening of my tank. It's a 5' 120g tank with a 30g sump. Mostly LPS and softies. Fish consist of the following:

    Pair of flame wrasses
    Lineatus wrasse
    Scott's wrasse
    Lubbock's wrasse
    McCosker's flasher
    Canary wrasse
    3 Bartlett's anthias
    Pair of B/W ocellaris

    Too much coral to list, but feel free to ask about anything specific. Enjoy! Feedback/criticism welcomed and encouraged

    He can bit a terror for a short duration to everyone else on occasion, just so they don't forget he's king ::)

    Thanks!

    I wish that was the case when I had my Aussie Scotts Fairy Wrasse. .... My achilles tang pretty much ended that though... Peaceful fish my rear! LOL.

    I've come to get a good impression of how much you love the achilles, but that's a rough way to lose a nice Scott's... :(

    I still say "peaceful" is a lax term. My "peaceful" Scott's is more belligerent than my "semi-aggressive" fish.

    I'm amazed at how great your tank looks for it being fairly young. Mine is about 4 or 5 months old and I've been very nervous to put much corals in it. I'm still trying to get down a routine for cleaning and maintenance. I get a lot of debris settling on substrate and rocks. Dirt really. Just need to vacuum it off more often. But i can't reach certain places on some rocks and wouldn't want to take them out for a dip in the old water change water. Especially once corals are settled. So what do you do? Also what additives do you add to the water and how often?
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Tank looks sweet especially the wrasses. Did you add them all in at the same time?

    You will need to increase the circulation to 20 to 30 times the tank volume or maybe more depending on how your rock is set up.
