Marie, could the wrasse be a Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura?

Looks awesome so far. Talk about tons of room for SPS growth. Clean looking setup with just the vortechs on the end panes.

Beautiful!! Can't wait to see it fill in. I love your idea of smaller fish. I tried it.. and then caved.

That's what I've been going with but it looks more like a Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus without the gold bar on the side......

My original plan was all small fish except the copperband but when the brown wafer algae started growing I decided 1 naso tang would be alright. Then I took down my 120g so now I have 3 tangs in there and I am apparently in the process of caving myself

Wow Marie, that looks great and so different from your last tank Loving it

[Leah]

It is hard to stick to! But OMG you have a huge beautiful tank, so why not add a few larger ones.
I conquer... One more fish should be okay or a few!

What made you take down the other tank?

After catering to an sps tank, fretting over majanos and algae in a zoa tank and attempting to make money by propagating rics, I wanted a tank that I enjoyed no matter what route it took. A complete reef, with algae, crabs shrimp, lots of fish and the corals playing a background roll. So far I'm enjoying it all.....although the cyano could leave anytime now
