nice job, that's an interesting color on your overflow. Did it come that way or did you paint it? Hrd to tell from the pics, almost looks like stone.

It's not even New Year's and you'r drinkin? Most everyone wishes they had of gone bigger. NOT ME though, I was watching football, glancing at the tank wondering, "how the heck am I ever going to fill in all the spaces with corals..."

"What seems to be one man's desire, is only another man's troubles".....probably Cofusious or somebody...I don't know, just made it up.

It's so true, you should place a patent on it quick.

Great looking tank with sweet mix of fish. How is the aggression on the wrasse? My lunar has some issues with new tankmates. Killed a 7" emperor I added about 6 months ago and have been a little nervous to add anything since. Tried to catch him a bunch of ways and ain't gonna happen. Also are you done adding fish to this tank or thinking of more?

Lunar's are known for being VERY aggressive.
Tusk is a wuss, chases the Coris every now and then but normally a model citizen.
Coris could care less about the tusk he's too busy flipping shells looking for food.
I have 2 more fish to be added that should ship out from Saltwaterfish.com today.
Red Sea Green Bird Wrasse and a Kole Tang.
Then it's done.

What kind of filtration you running on that bad boy? Tank looks really clean.
Large w side Wet/Dry (Amiracle 400) with a Sequence Dart return.
Skimmer is a Aqua C EV-240 with a Mag 12.
I might upgrade to a Mag 18 tis winter.

Upgrade the skimmer or return? I use a mag 18 for my return from my basement sump to my display upstairs but it is a drain on the electric bill. I think it might be a bit much for the skimmer. How are those nitrates running that wet/dry? I use a large fuge instead of a wet/dry but my nitrates still hover around 20ppm. I do feed twice a day as well as seaweed selects or greens once or twice a day also so it is kind of a load.

Was thinking of upgrading on Skimmer would need a valve to restrict.
My Nitrates run 0 all the time.

Nitrates at 0. Very nice. How often do you feed? On my old 55g I used to run at 0ppm but am having trouble on my 150g keeping it down even with a 90g sump with a massive fuge and octo recirc -300 skimmer.
Also curious how that maroon is on temperment? I have a 4 year old tomato clown that is satan! Spends the whole day chasing my other fish around. By far worst fish in my tank and I have heard maroons are even worse.
