the orange/yellow fish is a candy hog wrasse
the yellow/bluish fish is some kind of a damsel, maybe a fiji devil damsel.

Sweet tank, am i right that its a 72x24x24?
if so,Do you find thats enough room for you? I want alot of corals also and am wondering if i should get the extra 6" of width on the tank? Its gonna make it REALLY hard to get a stand that size though, so not sure.
What do you think?
That tank is the reason all us "little tankers" dream of big tanks!!

yes the tank is 6x2x2. If I could change its dimensions, I'd wish it was wider so I could get more depth in it. So if you get a chance to have a wider tank, go for it.

Oh man why did you have to tell me that?!?!?!?!?! I hate you now, lol

I had just convinced myself i dont need that extra space and just go the easy route and get the 180, now you got me questioning what i should do again

Hey if you have the room and the $$$$$$ then go w/ a wider one. I wish I spent a bit more and got a wider tank. I'm satisfied w/ the length and height.
Equipment - closed loop system, 40 gallon fuge, fluval canister filter that runs lots of carbon, phosban phosphate reactor, ASM G4X protein skimmer, dripping kalkwasser, Aqua Logic temperature controller (hooked up to a 800w heater and a 1/3hp JBJ chiller), 2 Tunze Stream 6100 powerheads hooked up to a 7095 multicontroller, MH lights + VHO actinics.

One more question, (anyone can answer this), what are the pretty blue fish swimming up top in the first pic?
Are they "Blue Reef Chromis" or Blue/Green Chromis???
I see them in schools all the time and I never can figure out what species they are, but I think I finally figured it out...
How many can be kept in a 100g tank? 3-5???

Depends on your inhabitants already in the tank. I mean i have 3 in my 40 gallon reef, with a clarkii and lemonpeel angel. All my water params are perfect except my nitrates which sometimes go up to like 3 - 4ppm. Those are green/blue chromis they look more blue because how the light is hitting them.
