Wow, you got a great tank there. You might want to slow down with the stocking and let things cycle a bit before you add any more fish

Keep us posted, thanks for sharing

Looking good. I also think you should slow down a bit.

Also, I think you are going to want more than 2 MJ 1200's for flow.

Its plenty flow. lol Its gana be a mixed reef, so I don't need a ton of flow. Each MJ 1200 puts out 2.1k+ gph plus I have the return pump from the sump.

I found out what kind of Wrasse I got from the LFS. Its a Female Exquisite Wrasse that came from Fiji. :dance:

remember take it slow!!!! if you stock too fast (which your doing : / ) it will cause WAY too many problems that you just dont want, i would say wait another 3 weeks to a month b4 adding another fish. but the tank looks REALLY nice!

Yeah, I know. I only have 3 smallish fish in there and the fish I got from the LFS are in QT and won't be going in for a while. The live rock was from a local who had it for years, so I don't think it should really cycle alot. For corals I only have a few softies which should be perfectly fine. Thanks!!
