Now that the tank is on the way I wanted to possibly get others thoughts on the fish stock list. I changed from the one above and took out the Two spot and added the YWG. I was looking to getting a Wrasse as well, but didn't know if the would go with what i have below or if i'm on the borderline of having it too full. Any thoughts?

Woot! Tank arrived. Packaging was excellent! Tank and stand were in great condition. Working on getting the stand sealed, inside painted etc. got the skimmer assembled and it's running in the trash can with the rock. I have it running in the max position right now. Water ready I have around 106 gal of rodi ready. Pics to come tomorrow as we got some candy begging to do tonight!

Very nice!

Thanks! I'm following your build as well. Everything looks amazing. It would take some massive convincing to get my wife to do something like that, but maybe one day.

Hi, great looking build! You're at about the same stage as me, so I'll be following along on your progress. Coincidentally I'm also going on vacation in Dec and will be waiting till after before any stock goes in (assuming it's cycled by then). Look forward to seeing your progress.

Very nice, is that where you are putting the stand? Looks really good on that wall

Thanks! Yup, well minus the mirrors lol. It's central to the main floor. It will be the first thing when you walk in, living room to the right and kitchen to the left.

She's wet! Light goes up tonight! Apologize for the crappy pics. I plan on using my Canon T2i and Lightroom 3 once things get going. I put some salt in last night but plan on doing the rest today.
