Hi all,

Figured I'd start a build thread now that the tank is starting to look decent.

Tank is a seapora 65g reef ready. Will get into the gear in a later post, but wanted to share some pictures of the critters.

The Bob Marley Zoa needs a little more light, we think, but I dont like handling it so weve been waiting to see if it adjusts to it's current location. I had mishandled the pipe organ at one point, so it's still on the mend.

I'm pleased with how everything else looks considering about half the corals were added this weekend, but curious to hear if you guys think anything needs some attention.

Couldn't get the firefish to sit still for a picture, and we have a royal gramma that has been very evasive the past few days.

Before the Tang police show up - we know the yellow tang will need a larger home. He seems quite content where he is now, as he gets bigger we will weigh trading him with a hobbyist with a bigger tank, or depending on how long it takes him to outgrow the tank, an upgrade to a monster tank may not be out of the question.
