Just got some new fish. I only have a picture of one of them:
Two Helfrichi Firefish, here is one:

Also a Lineatus Fairy Wrasse, but didn't have time to take a picture of him. I will later.

Beautiful tank!! I also don't really like the bare bottom look, why don't you try covering the entire bottom with zoas or something making a large zoa carpet, that would look much better than just plain bare bottom IMO. Just an idea. :)

Almost looks like a pc. of starboard down there CK. A few SPS keepers do this or bare bottom to be able to increase the flow in their tanks. I had BB for a while and really did like it. After a time coralline start to grow and it looks okay but the best part like I said is flow and the detritus tends to gather in one area of the tank for easy removal. Again a SPS kinda thing.

At this point there are no plans to add any polyps to this tank. It will be strictly sps. However, once I'm happy with the rest of the tank, I might turn my attention to the bottom.

+1 on all of those. Detritus can be siphoned out easily, and there is a ton of flow in the tank. This tank does not have starboard on the bottom, because I found that junk would get caught in the small area between the starboard and the sides. Normally, this is not an aesthetic issue, because there is a frame, but on this tank, you would see it. It will all be purple sooner than I want it to anyways :)
