Of course the Mandarin will be my Christmas present next year. I'm not sure of the Hawkfish, but more interested in something red. The colors of the Flame Hawkfish really cought my eye.

The tank looks beautiful. Great job. Fish suggestions: Potter's Angel. We had a flame angel, my son loved the color and the fish was a total jerk. Picked at the corals, chased other fish, nipped at the snails. We took him back and got the potter's and now all is happy.

Any suggestions on what to add to help keep the sand turned over and clean?

Tiger Tail cucumbers are great, and Orange Spotted Sleeper Gobies are hard workers, as shown Here On Untamed's build thread

I agree Diamond gobies are great for moving the sand. Not so great though, if you have a lot of corals or clams on the substrate. They can be quite messy when they sift. Sand sifting star, once the tank matures a bit? Nassarius snails also do a pretty good job stirring things up.

I don't really want to add any fish at this time so I think I add half a dozen Nassarius snails tomorrow.

I am currently using 2 Koralia 4 powerheads and will be adding another Koralia 1. I have been considering replacing these with the Red Sea WaveMaster Pro / Maxijet Powerhead Package - Deluxe with 4-MaxiJet 1200 Powerheads. However, in doing a little research on these I have seen alot of them used for sale on other forums. Is there something wrong with them that people don't want them. Is anyone using this wavemaker or is there something else I should be considering.

Tank has now been set up and running for 2 months. Finally added my 1st finned inhabitant, a Pyjama Cardinal. He's been in QT for the past 2 1/2 weeks and yesterday made it into the big tank.

I'm really having trouble getting a decent shot of anything in the tank with only the actinics on. I have no idea what settings to put the camera (Sony A350) on. When I shoot in Auto, all pictures are too blue. Any help with the settings of the camera would be very much appreciated.
