Thanks for the suggestions guys, I guess I will have to wait for him to mature a bit more before I really take a swing at the ID.
That being said I would be ecstatic if he turned out like your photos Tony, what a magnificent looking fish!
I would think this is the juvi ring tail:

They certainly look similar but its not 100%. Maybe I have some sort of ring tail hybrid? Anyone have any good books for fish IDing lying around?
On another note I boxed in my sump as the noise from my new skimmer was bugging me. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money so I went as cheap as possible. 1/2"thick pink insulating Styrofoam cut, spray painted black and affixed to the stand with velcro cost me just over $50.00 for all the supplies.
Stupid cat's are now using the stand as a scratching post... At least there not peeing on it.
