300 Gallon Tank Build

So it’s been 5 weeks, sorry for not posting, but a lot of family stuff going on. I had a devastating ick outbreak which started with the Achilles Tang and wiped out a total of 10 fish. After treatment I have 5 fish remaining and everyone is doing great now. The outbreak happened immediately after I moved the fish and continued to get worse for about 7 days. I will start to introduce new fish this weekend after 4 weeks of ick not showing itself.I have started dosing and have added a few corals. Pictures to follow.
 
Here are a couple of pictures

Sorry about all the losses!
 
This hobby is painful at times! Especially when you get attached to these fish. A few of the fish I lost I had for 8-9 months. I will learn from this and be a better hobbyist.
