    I like that idea but so far I'm not formally sectioning up the tank. I am developing some functional divisions though. The upper third of the tank is mostly going to be acros because of lighting requirements.

    Speaking of acros...

    really cool blue acoropora with a unique kind of bubbly texture and a dark green staghorn

    new purple digitata way in the back

    lime green hydnophora and blue acorpora humilis ( I had to fight off quite a few other folks at the LFS to get ahold of this one)

    As always, thanks for the many kind words.

    This is a pretty big Merulina at the back of the tank.

    Fish List as of 21 Nov 09:

    3 purple tangs
    3 ocellaris clowns
    1 percula clown
    1 aurora goby
    4 neon bar gobies
    1 Christmas wrasse (Hawaiian, I think)
    1 chevron tang
    1 mimic tang
    1 regal (hippo) tang
    1 kole tang
    1 BIG sailfin tang
    1 cleaner wrasse
    ------------------------
    3 cleaner shrimp
    1 Japanese pistol shrimp (elusive)
    2 maxima clams
    1 purple LTA


    The kole and the mimic tang are my 2 favorites right now but the big peaceful sailfin is really cool as well.

    I only have room for another 20 or 30 in the display tank so I'm going to have to choose carefully.

    I have a 90 and Im almost complete besides my sand bed. sand bed gnna be all clams, brains and acans. ( havent updated my thread with pics yet. alot different than pics that I posted in past)

    You have a perfect oppurtunity. Think about it. How many montis are there. Tons of em. branching(digis), scrolling (caps), encrusting.

    all the different milles, acros (too many).

    Then go to your lps.... euphyllias, brains, acans, chalices,

    Clam garden.... etc

    I think that would make an absolute awesome tank on top of a great build. yea you got all the bells and whistles for equipment now its time to think the aquascape through with coral placement.

    I havent seen you talk about your coral stocking list.... and aquascaping with em.

    think bout it now before its too late.
