    Welcome to the 90gal club.. ;) Looking nice... I'm not crazy about canister filters, they tend to be more hassle than what they are worth and in saltwater are often the source of water pram nightmares...

    Any pics of the fish in question? We can ID it for you..

    I would take the canister down for now. Maybe use it to run carbon or eccobak if your nitrate/phosphates increase. I would add another powerhead, Koralia is pretty cheap and i like mine. Vortech are the best and I LOVE mine. are you growing anything in your sump?

    Thank you all for the welcomes! I decided to try the SpectraPure MaxCap RO/DI 90 GPD unit. I also purchased a faucet hook up for temp. use until I figure out the plumbing. Based on your opinions a RO/DI unit was much needed! I am getting closer to my complete setup for corals!

    I also decided to add to the livestock for tank maintenance and bought the "reef cleaner package".

    My fiancé also bought a new addition to the tank. She said we needed some more color in the tank! So we've now added a colony of Green Star polyps! here is a few pictures:

    The mystery fish... I'm starting to think it's a wrasse. It's super hard to get a picture of it. He is very aggressive and move all the sand from under the rocks! He looks like the mystery wrasse but more grey/brown. He does have a black dot with blue outline on his tail fin. Here is the best I could do:

    So for the next upgrades I was thinking of looking into the all-in-one monitor systems. I was wanting some better testing equipment and also would like to control the lights and add a wave maker. What do you guys think about this unit Reef Keeper?

    Thanks again for all of the help!
