This goal for this tank will be as a peninsula against a while wall. I've always enjoyed this over a black background, as it seems to make it feel more like you are swimming in the ocean/the fish are floating. This was the largest tank I could fit through my basement door, and while still large I will be keeping relatively smaller sized fish (ie juveniles) and can re-home if any get too large too fast. I may be adding some soft corals or anemones as I go, but with the expectation that nothing will last. Open to all feedback/suggestions/stocking list ideas.

Stocking List (with more to be added):
- Triggerfish:
Huma, Niger, and maybe Clown
- Angelfish: Flame, Emperor, Regal, Magestic
- Butterfly's: Pearlscale, maybe Threadfin or Racoon
- Other: Moorish Idol, Quoyi Parot Fish
- Clownfish: Maroon pair
- Tangs: Orange Shoulder, Purple, Atlantic Blue, Sailfin, Blue Hippo, and maybe Black


Equipment:
- Tank

- Ozone Generator: Ozotech Poseidon 200 (if needed)

Started the stand with 2x8's as the main supports for the frame. Next steps are to frame the tank in/work on the cabinetry. I plan to do three doors on the front and trim around the edges, and hoping to take my time on it
