LOL @ Alberto!! I thought it was 23 pages! 
Yea, I plan to add some fish and yea I know they dont need lights except for them knowing when its time to sleep. I've been keeping an eye out for some uncommon fish on liveaquaria.com and my LFS's.
If it makes you feel any better I do have a Flagfin - Apolemichthys Trimaculatus. A very active fish and eats out of my hand. He eats anything. Kind of reminds me of a goldflake. They are in the same family.
I recently saw a Blue Spot Angel that liveaquaria had and was running up the stairs to order it. As soon as I hit refresh, he was gone! That's one of the fish I am looking for.

Thanks mcrist. Doesnt compete against your crosshatch triggers. I've wanted those crosshatch's for a long time now, but they always come in large sizes.

mcrist, that's what it was. That's why I said dont quote me.
asnatlas, good link. Im going to use it and see what I get.
zoos, thats a nice tank! Love the Angels. By the way, my 2 angels from justrarefish didnt make it.Im going to wait until I get my lights in before I start adding any more nice fish/corals. I know it has nothing to do with the fish, but it makes me feel like I am rushing into things. Anyhow, here's another pic taken this morning to surpress the appetite for a final pic without my complete lighting system.
That looks amazing, i can't get enough of those shots either. I was wondering are all your pumps running for this picture or do you turn them off for the shots?

Glad to see that you got the chiller problem fixed I feel your pain having to deal w/ problems from a brand new equipment (!!!) since we always expect perfect condition when we buy stuffs brand new in the box.
Cant wait to see you lighting system!

Today I stopped by Fish Gallery in Houston, TX which is the new location for Aquarium Environments, who built my tank. Anyhow, they just got in a rimless bowfront glass tank that looks to be over 80" long that they custom made for the new store. It was beautiful! Even the overflows were angled and looked very professional. I also noticed that they had a very tall rimless cube tank.. I would say about 36". It made me feel better about my 300g rimless as they say the problem with rimless tank is the height. The higher the tank, the higher the risk. Looks like naka started a trend at Fish Gallery!

invincible... did you see my 220G rimless ready to be shipped??? I heard it's been crated and is about ready to go. I'm going to have Tom quote me on an acrylic frag tank and sump, and ship them in the same crate as the 220. Just curious.
You've got a great tank shaping up... Thanks for the new ideas.

Treg, it is Tonga Nuku Fusion. It reminds me of a deep water theme. Each rock is very different. There should be some more pics of the rock throughout the pages in this thread. If not, I can find some for you if you want to see more? The big rock sitting alone is Ultra Fiji. Overall, I have 2 rocks that are Ultra fiji. .that one big one and the long one that comes out at the very right. Everything else is Tonga. I got to hand pick the Tonga at a LFS in which my friend Kevin runs.
Geoff, sorry, I did not see it. The reason for this is that AGE still resides in Dallas which is Tommy who builds the tanks. AE is the company that does maintenance and design. Fish Gallery is the new name for Village Tropical which is now the storefront for supplies and livestock. Both Village and AE have moved into Fish Gallery, except AE never changed names. AE has offices downstairs and upstairs in this new big building of theirs. Those new tanks were built in Dallas and delivered to Houston's Fish Gallery. Hope I didnt confuse you.

I picked out 113 lbs of the Tonga last week from Salty Critter, they had just got in about 300 lbs of it the day before. It's Awesome looking rock. They had some pieces that were about 30" x 20" that weighed near 50 lbs a piece! Shawn and I had it all laid out on the store floor stacking the pieces to make shapes like I wanted. :lol:
