Added the third mp60 last night. The flow is really moving and there aren’t any dead spots in the tank. The fourth got dropped and has to be sent to EcoTech for a new housing. I’m adding new lights tonight to see if I can get my par numbers up a little. I’m 50+ around the sand bed and only 250ish along the top of the rock work.

looks great! Definitely following along, looks like you have a couple really nice wrasse.

I think a pair of blue throat triggers would look awesome in your tank, especially when they get big. If you have the money for it, the cross hatch would look even better.

That looks like a great build, I wish I could build on my own haha. For SPS, do you plan on buying mari colonies or starting everything as frags?

Beautiful tank and build! Only thing I would point out is if you plan on keeping sand dwelling wrasses(like your radiant wrasse), you will want to go with a finer substrate. The current stuff ya have is very rocky and rough for them to dive into. I would at least try to have an area of the tank with finer sand/substrate. Otherwise, great setup!
