Wow Drew!!
That tank looks great!! I really love the landscaping!! As far as turbos go, I just today put 3 (along with a whole new snail population) in my 37gal, but I'm battling a hair algae problem. They're already making a huge difference!!
Not sure if you're ready for fish yet without knowing where you're at with water parameters. Can't really advise there.
Great job!!

Looks good! :) I got a turbo in my 29 and he's constantly cleaning my rocks and walls.

Thanks Mona! and everyone else. :) My parameters are..
ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
nitrate - 10(almost 5) took forever to get there
ph - 8.4
SG - 1.023 (raising to 1.025 next water change)
I have to get a couple more snails. I lost a few to the blue legs. I think ill hit the LFS and grab 2 tank raised clowns to start off with.

Thanks! I set everything up the second week of April. Took about 6 weeks to cycle and cure 70lbs of LR.

Probably start with 2 clowns, 6 line wrasse, maybe an anthia, and in a few months start adding corals. Im doing mainly a reef tank. I really want a tang but my tank is too small :(

Ha Ha Ha, I'm just laughing at the thought of getting a 6-line from the LFS that I go to. When I bought my coral beauty angel, the plan was to also get the 6-line that they had. Well, the cb angel went fine, no problem. But that poor guy at the store spent, literally, hours trying to get that 6-line out of the tank. The little bugger ducked into a hole in a huge piece of live rock and REFUSED to come out. That guy tore the whole tank apart, picked up the rock and shook it (and believe me, it was a huge piece), and nothing. I'm sorry, but it was pretty hilarious. Finally I told the guy that I would just take the angel, and if he caught the 6-line, he should just call me.
After I got home and got my angel acclimating, I called the shop because I hadn't left my phone number, and who answers the phone, but the guy that's SUPPOSED to be trying to catch my 6-line. The first thing I said was, "what the heck are you answering the phone for, you're supposed to be trying to catch a 6-line wrasse, aren't you?" *silence* I laughed a lilttle and told him not to worry about it. If it's that hard to catch them, I told him that I would just forget it and go with just the angel. That's a decision that I'm happy with since I was up and down about adding the 2 fish at one time anyway. They are absolutely beautiful fish though, and wish it would have worked out for me, but....
