I finally got around to starting a thread for my tank. I did have a coral beauty and blue & gold damsel, but I took them back to the LFS the angel was a nipper. I did add a few new corals and a scooter blenny (I think it's female she was skinny when I got her but she is now eating frozen mysis) I will edit this later on (current equipment/livestock list), for now here are some recent pics.

Equipment
- 2 Current Nova X2 (stock bulbs for now)
- 2 Hydor koralia #2
- Hydor 200 watt heater
- Cheap ebay airstone skimmer ( Ordered Eshopps PSK-100 skimmer)
- Small HOB filter for filter floss

*Livestock
Fish
- Female Scooter Blenny

Inverts
- Skunk Cleaner shrimp
- Astrea, Stomatella snails

Corals
- GSP
- Kenya Tree
- Radio Active Dragon eye zoas
- Candy Cane
- Blue Cloves
- Hitchhiker Palys

I am not sure what corals you are keeping. But if I were you...I took all those fishes you listed out. Coral Beauty and Blue Damsels...they like to nip on corals.:xd:
 
Ditto, I like the aquascape too ... lots of room for future coral growth and for fish to swim!
 
Thanks everyone, I was able to update my first post. The tank is currently experience some hair algae:cry:. I also ordered a new skimmer. It should be here tomorrow or Monday. Thanks for looking

woo-hoo for new goodies! hope you got some good stuff, and early is even better too ! :)
 
I got the skimmer up and running last night it looks pretty promising, only time will tell I guess. My batteries were dieing so the pics came out bad.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
