Deja vu all over again! Set your clox back to Ocrober '07, and there I am, eagerly awaiting my 450! Difference is:
96x36x30 vs. 120x24x36. It was only supposed to be 30" tall but the builder couldn't read my fish guy's handwriting and mistook the 30 for 36!

Differences now vs. then? I took out the little skimmer and added a My Reef Creations MR4R. I didn't know, this was my first reef tank! That's about it! The tank now houses:
4 Yellow Tangs (4")
2 Blue Hippos (6")
1 Desjardinii (7")
1 Purple (4")
1 Clarkii (3", the female died)
1 Copperband (3")
I've been thinking about adding 15-20 of some schooling fish, ideally with little or no color, maybe Bangaii?
I've got a bit of a hair algae problem right now but here it is:

Awesome feed Calbertbill. Do you just watch your tank from other places, (such as work)? How hard was it to set that up? I'd love to be able to see a larger portion of the tank. But it looks really cool.
Thanks for the words all. Spanko, the CBB is doing really well. I hesitate to use the word "thrive" with a species like this but it is eating a ton and seems to have no problems in my tank.
Regina, of course all the fish have a different personality. The rays are definitely my favorite and tangs act pretty similar to one another. My grouper is pretty shy. But I love the personality of the lion.... not shy at all... always swimming right out front and approaching anybody who gets close. It's kind of like a really nice, fat guy who can't move too fast.
