I really liked it I was able to keep things happy and healthy with great growth. .and insane polyp extensions. .
Here's some examples
And the gorg did well also because it feeds from the mulm when I shake the stones..

So here's my list that I am thinking of ..
10 anthias mixture not sure what yet
A pair of ruby red dragonette
A pair of borbonious anthias might be included in the 10
6 of small fish that swim together
A black tang if I can get one
And my favorite a blueface angel
What do you guys think

Man the redone stand looks awesome. The tank does stand out more.
So what major change are you doing overall this time compared to last time? Your tank was beautiful but you stated you rushed things.

Thanks Bro for checking out my thread. .one of the major changes is the stand the middle section got in the way and made it hard to really clean the sump. I rushed last time because I just wanted to fill it up and I couldn't wait so I ended up making changes along the way ..also I seen lots of things that I wish I would've done differently. Like sealing the stand for leaks and also clean and organized a lot more so I know all the wires by labeling them and also splitting the power supply to 2 different circuit of the house. .I will be doing some back up things just in case of anything like 2 pumps for returns 2 heaters 2 battery back ups and changing to apex and also adding a tablet for the fusion just a lot of ideas that I am doing and its lots of projects that will be done one at a time..

They're mostly small fish the plan is good import and export I will not be adding them all at once I will get the system balanced first once stable and get a baseline reading I will make changes one at time and test accordingly to figure out how the changes affects the system I will log everything so I know where the limits are for feeding and how long can I keep it stable between water changes..I will see how it works out if doesn't work as well as I want it to be I will fire up the zeovit reactor and go back to I what worked really well for me it might take more work but will see..thank you for your comment.
