Going to also try and set up a webcam on the tank

Don't think I'll do the pulsing xenias mostly Bc of how they multiply.

Might add a flaming prawn goby or two if I can find them.

If you are already antsy .. Lol ... Embrace patience. I applaud you for planning ahead
Did I mention it will take patience? I was in your place 3 months ago and still have to tell myself BE PATIENT and keep your hands out of the tank! Lol [emoji12]

Yea I know patience is the best with this.

I'm just trying to get a feel if my setup is going to be good and stick list will workout or not. Really.

Everything seems great. One thing though is the chromis. They don't get along best to have 1 or a vary large school. Arrow crabs and Scarlets you should avoid they can attack other fish and coral. Other then that you are good. Fairy wrasses and royal gramma will be fine. Good luck:D

Thanks Jmas! Will keep updated

Side note anyone with the GHL Mitras they are supposed to be releasing a arm style mount in the coming months :)
