Wow fish for a 65 gallon?

[hllb]

Just a warning, I had a Flameback that I had to rehome because he ate everything. Killed a trachy and acans, and I drew the line when he started eating my zoas.

Flame angelfish

Exactly what I was going to say!

Man this was a crazy long thread! If anyone is following or watching i made the choice of a white tail bristletooth for my centerpeice. If things go well with the addition of another clownfish maybe I'll do a dwarf angel etc.

Unsure. Flame angels nip at certain corals and dwarf angels have caused me issues in the past.

I have a flame and a coral beauty in my 72g tank (maricultured though) that are model citizens. I found all my fish to not touch corals at all if they are fed 7-8 times a day. I use an Avast Plank tied to my Apex. EZPZ.

7-8 times a day... Do you have aggression issues or algae issues?

No aggression issues at all. The feedings are also fairly small - just enough to keep them full and content. Definitely fought algae for the first 6 months, but once the ugly stage passed it's been a breeze. I introduced chaeto into the refugium and I think that's what made the biggest difference in outcompeting the other algae.

I'm having to daily dose Nitrate/Phosphate to keep up with coral demand. Don't get nearly enough nutrients from food/fish poop alone.

It's a Waterbox 4820 CLEAR which I drilled and installed an overflow. Tank is 72g with a 40g sump. Lighting is an ATI Sunpower T5 (6-48" bulbs) + Lumilite Ultra Actinic + UV LED strip.

Full tank info is in my tank thread.

Back on the website now. I'll go take a look at your build thread.
