finally getting it together!

Yep, we're finally getting our 215g happily sticked, and tanks so much for the suggestions some of you had given me, we've only had a couple bumps in the road so far...yeah, I broke some of my rules...kicked myself in the buttocks more than once, even gave over the power to the other half to kick me in the buttocks (just once) for poor decision making...but I think we're done...final stocking in:

Queen Angel
Desjardini Sailfin Tang
Purple Tang
Pink Tail Trigger
Foxface Rabbitfish
Tassled Hawkfish
3 Klienii Butterfly
5 Blue-Green Chromis
Purple Pseudochromis
ridiculously large green brittle star
tiger cowry
kenya tree forest, still being thinned...

pics will follow!

Been a couple weeks, and everyone is kinda getting settled...just have the occasional attitude problem out of the purple tang regarding the klienii's, and the hawkfish tends to jump on that bandwagon as well? Other than that...Just waiting to talk the other half into an even bigger tank :fish1:

nice sounds cool but if you want the chromis because they school it might not be a good choice because I have heard they dont often school, mine do though I got them all at the same time and small.

Lets see some pics, Im interested in seeing the tasseled hawk

it will be a couple of days before I can get pics up...I'll be at work for a few more days...the chromis have definitely been schooling together, it's been awesome to see them together, and so far the klienii's have been doing the same, which is great! The tassled hawk is a freak, lol! He was easily a little over 2.5" when we brought him home and he's probably added another 1/2" since being added, he's also gotten a little darker as well, and seems to be getting a bit of a threadfin along with his tassels. He's a pretty awesome and active fish and very readily accepted flake and pellets, but is a bit of a bully with the klienii's. Me, I'm just geeked that we finally have this tank stocked! New problem that has snuck up on us, as always happens once you think things are settled and going well, our pump to the protien skimmer is not working...grr...been trying to work with it and think we are just going to replace it...dang it! Between stocking this tank, the upgrades we have done to the reef, and now getting ready to replace the skimmer I know right where my pay has been going! Anyone wanna help pay for Catholic School? LOL!
