Will see if I can take some tomorrow. I generally leave new fish alone mostly the first few days. Observe from afar.

Oh wow. Love all the fish. Can you tell me what all is in there?

Yellow tang, tomini tang, eilbi angel, yellow wrasse, blue head wrasse, carpenter wrasse, sixline wrasse, cleaner wrasse, springeri damsel, tailspot blenny, cardinal, 1 male and 2 female lyre tail anthias, and I have I have 2 twin spot gobies, pair of mandarins, McCosters wrasse and a copper band butterfly on order from Dr. Reef.

How big is this tank Rocky ?
100 gallons. I had Glasscages make it 48x24x20 so it’s sort of a “shallow” tank. I made the stand 60” wide though so I had room to set things during maintenance and it added two 6” storage compartments on each end.
