Diving Back In

Hello Everyone!
Such a wealth of information on this site, much appreciated! I've never posted anything in here but have spent many, many hours reading and learning :) My tank intros:
75 Gallon Reef: 2 "false" perculas, 1 One Spot Foxface Rabbitfish, 1 Porcupine Puffer (he's an angel, doesn't bother ANYTHING, temporary home until my 500 gallon is ready and he will move back to my 210), Coral Banded Shrimp, Sally Lightfoot Crab, Anemone Crab, Anemone Shrimp (both living in a long tentacle anemone), Fire Shrimp, Purple Sea Slug, Tuxedo Urchin, Frogspawn (6 head), Xenia, Green Striped Mushroom Rock, Candy Cane, Doughnut Coral, Wellsophyllia, Zooanthid Rock, Plate Coral, Yellow Polyp Rock, Toadstool, 3 Feather Dusters, 30 Snails, 20 Blue-Legged Hermits, 5 Bumble Bee Snails. (I am aware that "Porky" the Puffer is not "invert safe", but as I mentioned, so far I have had NO issue whatsoever. He will pick off a snail or hermit crab occassionally, but otherwise he minds his manners!
210 Gallon FOWLR: 3.5 inch "Dwarf" Cortez Stingray (not convinced there is any such thing, but the LFS guy says there is, my research prior to purchase was to the contrary, 7 inch Banded Bamboo Shark, Volitan Lionfish...I have some live rock along the back wall of this one to help with the ecosystem and provide some hiding for the shark, the remainder is wide open for the Ray to perform his antics! He's an active swimmer and loves to show off! I'm in the planning stages of a built in 500 gallon (i have a long, wide hallway in my house, my favorite LFS guy is doing the construction, there will be a "tank room" behind this one and we intend to plumb the 500 and 210 together, the 75 will be separate as there's no "real estate" to include this in that area annd still have the tank viewable by the family! The Ray and the Shark will be moving to the big tank and my Porcupine Puffer will be going back to the 210 (had to relocate him when I added the Stingray to avoid any potential issues! He's always been a "nice" little guy but I didn't want to take any chances with the Stingray (even the Shark was a "with caution" consideration, fortunately never had any issues). I am planning on stocking the 75 with many more corals and adding several more fish to the 210 (after the Shark and Ray are settled into their new home) the jury is still out on what to add. The 500 will primarily be for the Shark and Stingray, a few additional compatibles as things get settled of course.
I think that about covers it for now! Again, thank you to everyone for the wealth of knowledge on this site!
