We setup the tank on 7/20/2006, with fully cured live rock 180lbs, 100% live sand 180lbs, and used 32oz turbo start on 7/25/2006, and added first fish and cleaning crew on 7/26/2006.

Looks great especially being it's your first tank. The only suggestions I can make are to go slowly and do regular water changes. Also if the cleaner wrasse dies (chances are it will not live long) don't get another one. Only the rare oddball ends up living a long time in a home aquarium. I like your choice of fish otherwise.

Looks really good. Nice tank stand.

We haven't updated our signature lately. We started out with only one wrasse but he was getting pestered so much by the fish, we went ahead and got 2 more. All 3 came out of the same group which our LFS had for over a month. He fed them for us before we took them so we knew they had a better chance. We've had them for almost a month now. Besides picking on fish they enjoy frozen mysis/brine along with the veggie clip. I hope they live a long time because the three of them are very entertaining together.

Again, thanks everyone for the compliments.
