Fishfreak2009's 187 gallon FOWLR

Swimming in the School
Here is my 187 gallon FOWLR. The tank is a Clarity Plus 187 gallon tank (60" long x 24" wide x 30" tall). It has rounded corners and a built in overflow on the back wall. I have about 200 lbs. of live rock from various locations (mainly Fiji and the Caribbean). I have a G200 Protein Skimmer in my homemade 55 gallon sump/fuge combo. There are 2 koralias to help move water, as well as two random old pumps I had laying around.

Here's the current stocklist in order of introduction:
2 Ocellaris Clownfish (A breeding pair)
3 Yellow Tailed Blue Damsels (A breeding pair and the odd man out)
1 Blue Devil Damsel (Who is suprisingly well mannered)
2 Yellow Tangs (Who get along great)
1 Melanurus Wrasse (A supermale)
1 Bluehead Wrasse (A male)
1 Aiptasia Filefish (He successfully eradicated all of my zoanthids and mushrooms, making my tank a FOWLR)
1 Bariene Tang (Who is an awesome little guy)
1 Sailfin Tang (Who keeps the two yellow tangs in their place)
1 High Hat Drum (Who eats greedily, cleans my sandbed, and looks awesome. Really active fish that begs for food like my cichlids)
1 Blue Spotted Toby (Who is really peaceful, leaves everyone alone)
 
I should add that I lost all my fish (mainly butterflies and dwarf angels) besides the clown pair at Christmas (never feed raw clams from the grocery store), as well as my light fixture catching fire, so while my tank was a reef at one time, this is just me restocking it as a FOWLR with a cheapo freshwater light on top.

Here are some pictures of the current fish.
