200ish gallon tank diary

The den is being renovated so this is sort of a "temporary" spot for the tank. Its the only place that we could find that looked decent and didn't require us rearranging the house.
Also have to go back to the lfs today. The bulkheads I bought are not going to work

 

[runn3rb3an]

man you guys are boringg haha. I already have a pretty solid idea of what I want to add but for the sake of conversation any reefsafe stocklist or coral suggestions?

 

[meowzer]

TEMPORARY!!!! You plan on having to move it YIKES

 

[runn3rb3an]

haha In like a year yea. For right now its staying

 

[runn3rb3an]

filled with water and some rock

 

[runn3rb3an]

hm thinking about keeping the lunare wrasse in the new tank. He has never given me problems but I dont want it being too violent. what do you think?

 

[btldreef]

How old is he? They get more and more violent as they get older, but there is always an exception to the rule. My mystery wrasse is a completely sissy.

 

[runn3rb3an]

like 2 to 3 years old. He's about 4 inches. I posted them for free on lira and some lady wanted them but wanted me to meet her so i wasn't going to do that.
I guess ill put in the yashia, cardinal and royal gramma and see how it goes.

 

[runn3rb3an]

phewww. It took all night but I finnally finished putting the majority of the rock and corals in and its looking good

stocklist as of now is:
falco hawk fish x1
yashia goby x1
pj cardinal x1
royal gramma x1
I will probably never see the gramma or yashia however

Pics tmrw!

[abeandlulu]

Ok so I finally got some pictures. Sorry for the bad quality no matter what time of day theres almost always going to be a glare but I'll get some more under just leds later.
What I did was try to make two Islands. Mostly because I really hate tanks with just a "wall of rocks" and secondly because I don't have enough rock haha. Im not sold on the final positioning of rock still and I also have about two buckets of rock I just killed and will need to cure
