Still just using my cell phone and this stupid blackberry won't let me post pictures! So pics to come this weekend when I can get to my moms house and use there computer! Hopefully ill have mine back soon! Also I'm most likely gonna sell every fish but the clowns so lmk if ur interested!
 
Thanks! Even my gf is excited about this tank LOL! Ill post pictures on saturday when I get to my moms!


And I forgot to add there's going to be a 40 gallon breeder with either a 175 or 250 mh pendenat tied into the system for a frag tank! So almost 400 gallons of water in the total system!
 
Everything looks great but your tank will become too small for the Vlamingi! I want one and have a 300 and mine is too small for an adult. Go with 5 Lyretails.
 
Yes ik!! :( well I'm selling every fish but the clown pair! He's cool but doesn't do anything for me! I love the anthias and want a school of them!
