Spent some time today organizing. I will building a full apex board at some point and will clean up the wires more but till then they are tucked away as much. Still getting used to the tank sounds I always knew when my old tank was having a issue so every sound makes me jump up and check on it.

Looking very nice! What dimensions are the 120, maybe I missed them. Are you planning a cabinet for the equipment?

It's 4x2x2 and the equipment is in my fish room so it's cool

I've done that before. My wife was making coffee the other day and i was napping in my chair. I came unglued, thought tank had a leak from the sound. Don't feel alone. Tank looking good. Keep up the good work.

It's funny I jump up and run out back and my wife will pause the tv. She doesn't even ask anymore lol.

well I added the first group of Fish to the tank. all captive raised fish from sustainable aquatics. a trio of lyretail anthias and a potters wrasse. all went through QT and were eating and looking great. after adding to the display my mimic tang started to pick on the wrasse. he hide for a full day and then was swimming and eating great and the tang was leaving him alone. the next day he was dead. no idea why. i was ticked to say the least. so now the tank has a pair of clowns, a mimic tang and the trio of lyretail anthias. any one have a suggestion for the next fish i should introduce. i want hardy fish that will do well in my reef. thanks in advanced for any ideas.
