Finally, I have cleaned everything. Got new rocks and donated few fish to my friend who's in a worse shape then I am. Hopefully my donation and help of re-establishing his tank will help her through this tough times. :/
Oh I also modified my hood so on the recommendation of flower long time ago and now that I got my LED light set for my bday.

Thanks Luv, I mainly posted these for you and Keith lol.
It took 2 days and LONG time to do so but it was worth it.
Looks beautiful. I have donated my clown fish and my red corris wrasse to my friend's wife and to her daughter. (my friend who has committed suicide recently)
My tank has nothing inside now and it's really bare but I figure they need it more then me. Little girl really loves the wrasse so it made me happy.
I will wait until a month or so that I can have money to buy few fish.
Well, thanks for your time again and have a great day guys!

Well, thanks for posting them, I see alot of areas where corals can go. It really does look nice, and it seems you made a little girl happy.
Any idea what you might get in the future? Are you gonna go all reef safe fish?

yea, she's very happy. very excited that she was bouncing around the place lol.
I just get little sad looking at the bare tank now. purple tang is swimming in the front a little bit but hiding due to the huge change.
I'm planning a reef safe fish for future and many of the small fish.
pair of fire fish
royal gamma
pair of false perculas
flame angel somewhere down the road
something easy, colorful fish that will get along with everything else.

Sounds good to me. 3 antheas sounds good actually.
1 male and 2 female.
I will have to work out the order of putting them in so that they don't fight..

You can put them in together as long as you actually get one male and two females. Some places sell them in trios that are already eating frozen food too....you should check them out.

Well, the main problem with anthias are getting them to eat. That is why I recommended a wysiwyg trio. My dispars did fine and eat like little pigs. I made sure I ordered them from a place that sold them together and had already QT'd, medicated, had them eating frozen, etc. etc. at their facility. They are still doing great, and I have had them for awhile..

Hey Sip! I like the new look! You have what I wish I could have in my set up, swimming room, hahaha.
The Anthis idea is a good idea in my opinion. You could maybe get like 5. Reef chromis are niice too. There are many options you could go with reef safe and pleasent fish. Oh the possablities! Lol....

BTL advised me to get all females. They seem to be hardier. Also, it is neat to watch the female change into a male. Also, they have fast metabolisms and will need to fed at least twice daily.

+1
I've also found Lyretails to be the hardiest/easiest to care for.

Wow! so many inputs from so many of ya, thank you so much!
Anthias - Lyretails 3 females. Got it!
I'm trying to find out an order of introducing them.
Probably pair of firefish -> royal gramma -> 3 anthias -> pair of flase percs
How does that sound? I'm also thinking of flame angel down in the line also as well as six line wrasse...
