I'm really hoping to get a mandarin pair as well to finish off my tank. I think they would make a nice final addition

Looks awesome! What’s your fish list currently?
Thank you! My fish list consists of a blue tang, yellow tang, yellow eye kole tang, zoster butterfly, 3 lyretail anthias, 5 blue/green chromis, 4 Pajama cardinals, 3 zebra barred dartfish, snowflake clown, mocha storm clown and a canary blenny. There are also a couple of sea stars I've had for about 2.5 years, same with a coral banded shrimp. As of yesterday I also added a blood shrimp :)

The tank is 150g with a 75g sump. Total volume somewhere around 175-180 after displacement

What is your favorite fish?
That one is tough... I'd have to say my butterfly surprisingly has the most personality but my favorite I think is the kole tang. It was super shy for the first month or so but now greets me at the tank, obviously associating me with food but still very cool. I am very lucky to be able to keep these fish :)

Cool! I’m working on a stocking list for my upcoming upgrade from 46g to 80g, so always looking for ideas!

That’s exactly what I’m hoping for with a yellow tang and bristletooth tang!

What’s the footprint of your tank?

I have yet to hook my smart pentair up but I will be plumbing it in-line after my return pump for algae control. I believe @dmy535 has a UV setup. I think a couple others as well

I am running a 57W Aqua UV inline with my return pump. Hard plumbed with 1".

Return pump --> Flowmeter --> UV --> split to returns

Thanks all mainly using mine for ich management cause I really don't have room for qt set up so I think I'm going to find a good external pump for it. I bought a jebco and it leaks so it is in my display right now till I get one.
