There are some reef safe angelfish that are SPS friendly. I have one in my tank right now. Its going to Russ though unless you can convince him otherwise...there's a male version of my fish at Marine Aquaria right now too if you were wanting a possible pair......

Theres also a really nice pair of Sargassum Triggers there right now. Nice fish.

If we can find an angel of some sort that won't touch sps (I know, good luck on that)
A pair of clowns (probably just oscellaris)
A trigger (maybe Niger or Bluethroat)
Regal Tang

That's about it so far. We are going to try to find most of our stuff "used" from people who are shutting down systems etc....the livestock seem to be much healthier that way. But our impatience might impede us on this idea.

I sure am! Even my neighbours accross the street e-mailed and commented at how they were sad when we closed the drapes cause they were absolutely loving the lights.

Now I can't wait for my cabinet work to get here!

I agree great job with the aquascaping. Your not concerned about ever having to clean the CL output nozzles? Looks as though that may prove to be difficult.

Thanks. No I'm not too concerned. They are full 1" outs. I don't foresee having to take them out ever. I can actually reach my hand in an touch them all which means I could always get a small brush in there. But with 3600 gph closed loop running 24/7 I don't think the outputs will need much for cleaning. The intake was more of a concern for me. That's why I went with eggcrate as a grate (Larger holes, hopefully won't clog. But they are fairly Accessible.

Ya, you wouldnt think stuff could grow with that much flow but, my vortech puts out that much flow and still needs to be cleaned....should be all-right if you can get in there though.
