I terms of the tank build or my fish question?
Thanks!
Chevron tang is golden! He will be a great addition to your reef. The flame angel is questionable. One of my buddies in Springville has a flame angel in his very mature mixed reef and he is just fine. We can go see him sometime if you like his name is Jared L. The copperband is a great addition to help fend off the aptasia. I added one to my tank and I will pay you money if you can find an aptasia in my display these days. I don't have any feather dusters so those could be an issue... Mine only eats frozen brine, mysis and aptasia daily! If you decide against the copperband I will purchase him from you in a heartbeat. This is my humble experience with your new additions...here is my copperband on patrol in the display tank:
Unfortunately the coral band didn't make it. He looked ok last night, but was dead this am. I feel bad, probably shouldn't have tried with him I guess. Just couldn't get him to eat even though he was eating at the LFS.

How do you like your Barracuda/Hammerhead pump?
Think it would be too much for my planned setup?? A 217 gallon (58 x 36 x 24)? Im thinking of doing a manifold like yours (but with 4) it would have 2 returns (1 1/2" each) to the display tank and a carbon reactor, and a spare; all with gate valves.

I was told the hammerhead would be too much flow so I out in the barracuda impeller. I wish I had not done so! I do not have too much flow. I think you will be okay.

Been watching your progress. Everything looks good but I cant see the pic. Or is it just me.
Strangely it doesn't show up if your not signed on, and even then only half the picture shows up. I'll repost...

odd. Does anyone else see it?
The new add is the 5 Anemones in the background. I got them from a local guy that has hundreds of them all from one mother...

That's lot of anemones. And that birdsnest has some crazy growth.
I was only going to get one... to join the one I had, but this tank was so amazing and these were the coolest looking Rose Anemones I've ever seen I just couldn't help myself. Unfortunately (as expected) three of them have moved from where I wanted them, but so far I'm okay with where they seem to be settling.
