    Nope...still on the list. But I am looking into 3 different sized tanks now...depending on the house I buy, and space provided.

    225W (72" x 30" x 24")
    150L (60" x 24" x 24") <---allows a pool table in the same room!
    240 Cube (48" x 48" x 24") w/ an island OF, viewable from all sides.

    I should be able to fit all the wrasses I want in any of those! Going to look at some houses this weekend and next week. Crossing fingers! :p

    This is close to the size of mine; 60L X 24H X 20D

    I'd do the 225, but the 240 would be very cool. However, I also see a lot of difficulty in pulling it off. But if you like a challenge...

    I ask about the mystery because I wouldn't do one, if I was you. ;)

    I'll keep that in mind. I'm leaning toward the 150 + Pool Table! It will cost about the same as the 240 would.

    Pool table in the same room would make me nervous, unless it was an acrylic tank. But I hate acrylic and it's scratchiness.

    I just have reservations against the Pseudocheilinus genus. 90% of them eventually turn into terrors, and they're notoriously difficult to catch.

    Even Brad Syphus won't keep a mystery wrasse. :)

    Not to burst your bubble; I'd just hate to see a tank like that with one little terror in it.

    As a matter of fact, it will be acrylic!

    Thanks Steve.

    Let's just call it 70ish colonies. :cheesy:

    All the stuff in my tank, and everyone loves a simple fungia. ;)
    So much for the rare stuff :p

    Great looking tank, color is the main eye catcher unfortunately, I feel like I am nuts with the number of colonies in my tank compared to yours.

    Yeah, seems to be how it goes.

    What's your count up to?

    Just did a quick total:

    SPS: 22
    LPS: 34
    Zoas: 12
    Mushrooms: 4
