That's a big tank! I'm sure that list is not too much.

Perfect. I want a lot of fish but dont want it too over crowded and poluted with crap. Im thinking the saddleback might change for the red coris wrasse though. Not sure how much I like butterflies and don't want them to finish off all the coral that the angels and triggers leave behind

Awesome!
They look like they're making out in that first picture and he's annoyed they they're being watched.

The crosshatches are now acclimating and I'll post pics when I'm done
My question is with the clowns, blenny and hippo I've been feeding a total of three cubes a day of a variety of spirulina mysis and ocean nutrition formula 1 and 2. I also add some algae sheets into the mix. Once I add the triggers to the mix I plan on mixing in more formula 1, silversides, krill, and squid. Roughly in cubes or pieces of krill/silversides should the triggers eat in a day? Also any additional menu items that would be worth while that anyones noticed from experience? I live in the pacific northwest so any fresh seafood is very accessible as well if its worth the occasional treat.

3 cubes seems like a lot for the fish you have now, crosshatches not included.
Right now for my fish: Sohal, Queen Angel, Niger Trigger, Racoon Butterly, Foxface, Yellow Wrasse and Red Coris Wrasse, I feed 3 cubes a day, plus a whole sheet of nori. Then twice a week when I feed the eel, I also "hand feed" all the other fish by holding a piece of raw shimp or squid in the tank until they've all had their fill. Sort of like an all you can eat buffet, without any mess.
One good indication is to put the food in and see if any gets left after a few minutes. If there's food left, you're feeding too much.

Crosshatch pair looks great man!!! I sure you will love them, and I know Michael and the crew at A.T. did a great job of QTing them, because they always do. Oh, and my Crosshatch are MONSTER eaters, mine eat anything and everything, but when I first got them they really preferred a carnivore diet exclusively, squid, jumbo mysis, and so on. Took them a while to warm up to pellets, they didn't ever feed mine pellets while they were at Aqua Touch.
Nice job on the mantis tank too, that will be fun to watch.
Sorry I haven't been on here much lately...busy, busy, but your tank is doing great.
