Just wanted to see what you guys think. I'm open to any suggestions.
It is a 65 gallon, acrylic hex. I built the canopy and stand myself, but I'm going to refinish the wood due to the ever-changing decor in my house, thanks to my wife. Mechanical canister filter, a Magnum to be exact. Krager Heater. Std. undergravel bio filter. There is a refugium in the base below which I built myself and just finished the plumbing. The sand is LS, while the refuge has LS and LM.
Fish List: Foxface, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Neon Damsel, Blue Damsel (he's killed everything else, Coral Beauty, Pearlscale Butterfly, cleaner shrimp), White Damsel, numerous snails, hermit crabs.

Actually, the Yellow Tang isn't stressed at all, one of the more relaxed fish in the tank. Also, the Foxface does equally well. When I first got him he would frighten up, but now I can stick my hand in and clean or adjust things and he is totally fine. I like the look of the dead corals. Mainly, because I don't have the time or money to keep up a reef tank, and they're quite easy to clean. To date I've never had a problem with bacteria, and the tank has been up for about 10 years, with nothing more than a monthly water change.

How long has this been set up? I have a huge chunk of barnacles and they turned green within a month or two of being in my tank. Still are although it's just sitting in a closet now, too lazy to clean but they look cool and my damsel loved to hid in it.
