Nevin looks good so far!

Fish wise go with a few gobies you could put a bangai but long term they do get big, on the other hand gobies stay relatively small varying on species. I especially like the shrimp gobies they hide in a hole in the sand and you can get a pistol shrimp for a partner. They go hand in hand and have a good partnership, the shrimp relies on the fish to keep a lookout it does this by using it's antenae and rests it on the fish like the blind use a stick to feel. If the fish senses danger it whips it's tail and dorsal fin the shrimp retreats into the hole. The shrimp in turn is the builder it digs tunnels in the rock and sand. Currently I have 8 different gobies in my tank, as you can see I'm a big fan of them and have three pistol shrimp 1 of them has paired up together the other two are still looking for their mate as my tank is big it may take awhile for them to find eachother. They prefer to have sand but with alot of flow in my tank barebottom is the way to go. This is no problem for the pair the shrimp has made a tunnel in one of the rock structure and is quite the busybody as it collects pieces of rock shells and other bits and pieces to place at the door step so no one can go in. When it decides to take a break from it's daily mining th shrimp simply moves some of the rubble and chills with the orange striped goby. I can't wait for the red wheeler goby to pair up with a new blue pistol I picked up a few weeks ago.

Anyhow I won't bore you with the love fiasco happening in my tank just thought I would share a little of my happiness.

I didn't know you were somewhat of a carpenter kudos on the tank stand maybe we could do a trade you help me ramp up my stand and make it more eye freindly and I could help you out with some livestock ie corals good tips and whatever else let me know cheers Chris.
