Sean,
I turned on the Amp Master earlier this week, and I agree that more flow is desirable (especially if I wasn't starting as fish-only). I will also have a Mag 18 from the sump supplying an overhead manifold, so we'll see. Might up that to a Mag 24 (the overflow comb probably won't handle a Mag 36 though). I had toyed with the idea of installing two closed loop systems, but decided to stick with one. For a reef setup of this size I would definately add at least 2 Tunze 6100's.

Anthony,
And I used that fish-crazy attitude to maximum advantage this week
The smell of curing Tonga rock in the house was unbelievably rank, and the boxes had 5 rotting cucumbers in them (now
that is the worst smell I've ever come across !!!!
Yes, even worse than dying Xenia ...)

Ryan,
I like clownfish, but a pair would be too aggreesive and territorial for my strategy on this tank. BTW, what rarer species were you thinking of ??
Over the weekend I'll add some photos and ideas that I had for a refugium and then a linear, multi-tank sump under the bar. Alas the idea didn't work out, and I was left with three 10 gallon tanks with various bulkhead holes (and one that cracked when I tightened the bulkhead too much).
Meanwhile, I need to put the gas mask back on ... that Tonga is still working wonders on the nasal passages.
