    Right now I have Sols left over from the old tank. I'll probably go for a R420R once I get everything else bought.

    Evolved told me to stick with smaller fairy/flasher wrasse. All flashers besides the eightline, and smaller fairy wrasse.

    And finally a topdown shot. Hopefully I can get more of these in the future

    Sorry about the grainy quality, I wasn't gonna break out the SLR and the rest to shoot some rocks.

    So I've finalized the fish list:
    Watanabei Pair
    Sunburst Anthias

    Either or, whichever I can find the nicer individual of
    C. burgessi or other Roa butterfly
    C. colini or other if unavailable (C. multicolor, C. venustus)

    Finally
    AI is hung

    Time to get some SPS and NPS in there

    I hung the lights with 80# monofilament fishing line which I love because it disappears unlike cables and gives the impression that the light is floating above the tank. I just need to find some clear carabiners or quick releases and the effect will be total and complete.

    I also remapped all the wiring to make the setup look as sleek as possible, and ran the controllers for everything outside the stand.
