This build is a rebuilt of my previous system, Monolith, which crashed in July 2016 due to a electric failure in the street while I was travelling.

My first thought after that was to dismantle the system and sell out everything, but passed a few days I just found that was not the way to go.
So......here we are.

The setup is basically the same, with much less sand and rocks.
This time I was able to do what I wanna do on Monolith, but didn't do due to the fact that Monolith was an upgraded project.
This was a fresh start, so I can plan it more carefully.

The new layout:

My intended fish list:

Now I've already have the Chromis (6 actually), the P. fridmanii (a couple), the Golden head goby, the yellow coris and the clowns.
I added too a P. sankeyi, 2 Anthias Lyretail and an antenata goby.

I don't want more than one tang to avoid aggressions, like I have in my previous setup.
