I am starting to think maybe a tusk is a good way to go as they seem to have a better rep than most of the big wrasses.

My tusk is a pussy cat and actually gets chassed by the Yellow Tang and Queen Angel. Great fish! I agree that is a better way to go.
I too love Lunars and Sunset's but if he turns agro and starts de-eyeballing others (I have heard this before) then think about trying to catch a fish that fast and agile out of an 8' tank with lots of LR and caves....fag-it-a-bout-it!
So my advice in stocking your 240 is get your list together for compatibility, then get it into stocking order and stick to it.
Will help things go much better for you. I used a 75g upstairs to QT each fish for 1 month before I could move him and buy the next one...and it was TOUGH to restrain!!
Your gonna love it...enjoy!

So the tank will be ready for me to pick up Feb 7th now...I asked the salesmen the weight so I get appropriate help getting it into my house...I was shocked...The tank is only 177 lbs
Thats a 2 man job...Gotta love acrylic! The stand actually weighs 190!
I was just a little surprised.

This is going to be a fun thread to fallow!

It's good to hear that everything is coming along nicely!

I changed it due to the fact that there is a shipment of these amazing fish coming to the states as we speak.
I WISH MY WIFE WOULD LET ME BUY ONE!!!!

I have to be honest, I'm not a huge simpsons fan. But I just HAD to have my picture taken on the simpsons couch. I might be starting to miss my jolly roger flag, but I think that is way overdone on forums. So I dunno.

Love the idea of the Sohal Tang!
Those are gorgeous! My LFS has a huge one in their reef tank and it's a real *clown*. He loves to pick up the veggie clip and throw it around the tank. when you walk up to the tank he comes and really shows off. They are asking $295 for it.
