    My awesome LFS started bringing in stuff out of vanuatu and soloman. I'm thinking some rare wrasses are the way to go.
    I really like the Hooded wrasse, so I'll probably go with a male one of those.
    I also really like the Labout's wrasse.
    I'm thinking either the Watanabei and wrasse or Watanabei and 3 anthias.

    Sounds like this will be a really nice tank. Can't wait to see it in action.

    I'm going to shorten the length of the sump and make a QT on one side. If I'm going to be dropping 120$ on wrasses I might as well QT them. I'm thinking a Multicolor or Venustus angel instead of a Watanabei or Chevron right now, although deepwater acro colonies are relatively inexpensive I still wanna have some free cash. We shall see what my LFS can price stuff at.

    I'm also thinking about getting the sump done in smoked acrylic, I think that would be cool and keep coralline out of my skimmer and equipment.
