Just put a link in to your build thread, we can all go there and see the pics! You do have a build thread right? :)

If not it's a good time to get one started. Just follow the links under my signature.

That’s right, get one started if you can. We love the pics and it is an awesome way to track your progress on the tank.

My green clown goby is a friggin nut, so you may get some personality there. As for a blenny, one of my favorites is a tailspot blenny and a close second is a bi-color blenny. I have a tailspot in every tank I have, except my one at work. It has a bi-color blenny. Cleaner shrimp are very personable also, so you are more than likely going to love that stocking list once they are all in there.

As for the one fish a month, that’s about what I did with all my smaller tanks. I started with inverts first, then the fish based on how they usually behave. The shy ones go first, then the not so shy ones go last.

thanks for imput :) i do love the bicolor blenny look but it seems to be the only blenny i hear that is sort of aggressive and sometimes pics corals ?

They can be aggressive, why they are second to a tailspot for me. I have had quite a few over the years and never had one nip at corals per day, but they did eat any algae that may have been growing on a plug or on the skelton of my lps. Not saying it can’t happen though. Kinda like some angels. Some have never had them touch a coral, others they decimated things.

I'm starting my cycle today :( After a few weeks/months of testing and waiting, I hope to feel your joy as well... and will probably be on here crowing about it as well, because I guarantee my wife will not be nearly as excited as I am... lol.

hahha, ive upgraded my thread right below my name ! :P my gf hates whenever i even say Fish or aquarium in this house now. But i have to say because i did cycling with the whole raw shrimp wait a few weeks i feel its been worth. Ive had more time to plan out my fish, change the rockwork and it even seems like my tank is pretty crystal clear even now. :)
