Well, here's the update I've been promising. Just a quick recap:
Here's what it looked like when I first started the cycle. To the right by the power head you'll see the piece of shrimp in a nylon bag I used to help kick start it.

Here it is right after the cycle finished. I didn't like the way the rock work looked so I used this time to do a little rearranging of the aquascape.

And here is what it looks like now with all the livestock additions so far.

These are the fish I've added:

My clown. I really didn't want a clown fish but my wife wanted a Nemo. But, she didn't want to call it Nemo. So she named it after the actress who played the part of the blue fish. So she named her/him/it Ellen.

Here's my diamond watchman goby. He's got the coloring of an orange julius so I just call him Julius.

These two are pretty much inseparable. You'd swear they were hot for each other as a mated pair.

I'm only planning on getting one more fish to help with the bio load. I've been thinking about a flame angel.

Thanks guys. Well, so much for the flame. Anybody got any ideas? 72g tank, a clown and a goby, a few small soft corals and inverts. Gotta get along with them.

Here's a closer look at the tank so you can maybe see all the coralline algae growth. There's even some growing on my DIY rock which is awesome.

I'm going to have to edit the photos of my serpents. The top picture is gimpy now. The bottom one is gimpy when I first got him. I didn't realize how much he's grown since then. Wow.

(Sniffle) my little boy is growing up.

kole tang,
yellow tang,
tomini tang
foxface...

all good options for your size tank. foxfaces and yellow tangs tend to be little puppy dogs and follow you around. At least that is my experience...
