Nice... I was waiting for water even if its just test water. Can you refresh my memory of the tanks volume and proposed sump volume?
the tank is approx 475...and then the sump will either be around 100..or maybe 200 gallons if i decide to go custom made.

haha, t hanks.
Now people may start giving suggestions on some nice larger sized fish...i want only about two larger fish...but the MUST be reef compatible..and not be overly aggressive towards smaller fish like clowns.

well you have to be more specific... Personally I'd want to do some sort of tang. Maybe a clown?

This might limit you fish list too (nothing under the size of your hand). But both fish really don't get that big, the Grouper gets 14" max, and the Wrasse gets a couple inches bigger at 17". Plenty of room in the tank, and those sizes are looking far down the road, like 10 years. And outside of some angels, are among the most beautiful fish in the industry, period.
Triple Tail Wrasse (Cheilinus trilobatus)
&
BlueLine Hind (aka Grouper, Cephalopholis formosa)

hahaha, doc...keep em coming...i kind of like the blonde nasos, and kind of don't...i'm kind of picky,lol...have you had much lucky with the baby bangers?
those wrasses are pretty sweet, think out of my range, as i do like the idea of having a couple pair of clowns with a few anemones for each to go around in....never know, i could change my mind and add a small tank for my clowns,lol
is there really a reef safe shark? Most that i see for sale says they wont bother then except maybe knock them over...eh..haha...so many fish

Bronco,
Just got back from vacation and see you got water.

I know this is your project, but I think I can speak for all of us that have either posted or just been following your thread that we all feel like a part of this project either in posting suggestions, ideas or just encouragement along the way. If I lived closer to you I'd wire this thing for free, just so I could be a part of this project.

At 20 pages, 773, replies and 22,998 views to date, "YOU ARE THE MAN".

I have just one question:
Is that Brandan Fish Aquacultured or Wild?

And how big will he get?
