Well, Laurence, Tinkeri are PUTATIVELY reefsafe as deepwater planktinovores.
antihonda, declivis, wrought irons, burgess etc....are just so friggin hard to find. Granted they are just as hardy if not hardier than tinkers....
I'm gonna start off with like cheap brown zoos, montis etc...and see what gets picked off and what doesn't and work up from there. The fish are the centerpiece. The rest is for a more natural background effect.

In general regals do not pick on sps. They fairly commonly decimate zoos, but most LPS and SPS seem ok. Be careful with the "meaty" LPS vs the stuff like gonis and torches. Clams by and large are ok as well. The trick is still in finding a healthy regal, not in what it will or will not eat. IF you can find a healthy regal, they are generally reasonable reef citizens. As a generality the yellow chested ones are better bets. Don't get 'em too small or too big. If it doesn't eat in the LFS, it probably won't in your tank. Quarantine is risky b/c they need to be in an optimized comfortable environment which most QTs are NOT.

Your tank is looking very good! Love your tinkeris! such a pricey fish!
I am having a small regal angel in my reef (mainly SPS and clams with some LPS) and he have been a good citizen up to now. Its been 3 months that he is in my reef, and he does not touch my SPS and LPS at all. I saw him once nip my clam but other than that, nothing. He nipped and go away so i am hoping he wont start liking the taste. He is still very small, maybe 3.5 inch... eating brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, formula 1 and 2 pellets, cyclop eeze and grocery shrimp
I will soon start my 140G Cube FO tank, seeing your tank is making me jaleous haha!

moonpod, would you be able to post pics on how you got your BK hooked into the overflow to feed it ?? I was looking around on the zeovit forum and I think I may have found what I need, I just wanted to ask you first...
I am thinking about a short 1" PVC tube to stick into the silicon tubing and clamp down, then get some more silicon tubing and some more clamps and attaching the new tubing to my overflow drain to feed the skimmer, would this work ?? Is that how you went about doing your BK ?? Also do you know if the 1" PVC will work or do I need a diff size ??
Here is pic for reference...
