Chaloupa,
Thanks for the compliments! My multibar angel did "initiate" the other angels when I first added them with a decent smacking. This only lasted a few days. After that phase, there have been no problems. Sam, It was nice running into you the other day! I ended up buying a blue sided fairy wrasse. My girlfriend convinced me my corals weren't worth the risk with the other fish I was considering. I'm glad she was there  I'll post a picture of the wrasse and flameback shortly. Michika, I actually ran 2x250W before, however the 250w ballast on the left suddenly malfunctioned. I had to get a new ballast, so I thought I might as well get a 400W since I was transitioning towards more SPS. This look wasn't intentional, but I'm glad you enjoy it! With regards to dosing, my CA Reactor has been offline for a few months due to a malfunction with the pump, so I've been dosing ALK and CA as needed. Besides that, I do monthly or weekly water changes, depending on my schedule. Here is my livestock list: 3 x Dispar Anthias Multibar Angel Flameback Angel Golden Angel Atlantic Blue Tang Mimic Eibli Tang Yellow Tang Pair of Gold Stripe Maroons Algae Blenny Blue sided Fairy Wrasse

Sam, here is a picture of the flameback. I was considering the potter's for quite a while, but I saw some drawbacks to the ones available so I didn't get it. I'll pay more attention to those fish next time I see them.
 And here is a picture of the wrasse I got. Please feel free to chime in if this isn't a blue sided fairy wrasse. Wrasses are definitely not my forte.

I'm jealous that you have an Atlantic Blue, they are such beautiful fish.
Any future plans for your tank? Maybe some fragging?

I have a flameback in my reef...and was a bit concerned....I'd love to add more but of course being angels...SCARY...they are one of my favorite group.....I have wanted both the Potters and the Golden angel and maybe now I'll just have to try it....in my 120g I have a Rusty and a Lemon Peel that get along so so.....you have got a gorgeous group of fish and your reef is stunning!

Michika,
I really like the Atlantic Blue as well. Watching it grow from being a 3 inch yellow juvenile to its current state has been amazing. I'll try and find some old pictures to show its transition. I don't have any specific plans at the moment for the tank, only the basics of continually keeping the reef inhabitants healthy and watching it grow out. I have been considering upgrading lately and the Atlantic Blue is definitely one of the reasons. If the timing and the tank is right, maybe you'll see a fresh tank journal . I rarely intentionally frag my corals. The corals are still fairly spaced out with room to grow. On the rare occasions I have, they were for good friends or maybe the seldom trade with local reefers. Chaloupa, I definitely agree that adding angels to a reef can be risky. A reefer has to be prepared for the worst case scenario,...which can also be an opportunity for reaquascaping the tank  ! I like them a lot, but I must say, they are definitely hit and miss with corals.
