does your blue face have dual spots one each side of the tail fin? Not on both sides of the fish. Like one up top then one on the bottom on the same side? It has really amazing colors. The Line of blue that splits his eyes is unreal. I wish mine had that. BTW I moved mine over to another tank and it has healed up extremely nice. Those bannerfish are cool as hell staying together. I wish I could fast forward 6 to 8 months. That tank is going to look even better with the rock coming to life with growth and your fish all together. That is badass!

The reason why my blueface looks a little different than yours is because mine is still very young and small (maybe 3"). It just went through it's color change and what you see is some of it's juvenile colors still showing. It will eventually look exactly like yours, which I don't have a problem with. I'm glad to see that your's pulled through and that you haven't given up with the hobby. There's been more than a few times that I've been like "screw it, I'm done with this freaking hobby."

What are you lighting this lake with? I wish I could convince my wife that we needed a tank this large.
2 36" 400w metal halide/t5 fixtures. I tooks somebody's advice on getting 400w halides because my tank is pretty deep at 4 feet.

You don't have to cycle a tank if you're putting fully cured live rock and sand. If you do it right you won't have any die off, therefore no need for waiting on it to go through a cycle. You're basically moving a completely cured and established tank into another.

A new tank goes through a cycle to create aerobic/anaerobic bacteria. Since the cured live rock already has the bacteria present, no cycle.

There's also a debate as to whether large systems even go through a cycle. If the system is large enough, then the toxic ammonia/nitrites will be much less concentrated while the bacteria form.
