Sorry for not getting back to this sooner dont know what happened to today.
As for flow I am using a blueline return pump rated for 1100GPH on a SCWD as well as 2 Seio 820's. Many would probably say it isnt enough for SPS but I have had no problems as of yet (running around 30X turnover).
As for cleanup crew like I said I mainly have snails (Nassarius - about 20, Cerith - about 20, Astrea - about 40) I also have 25 micro blue leg hermits, a long spine urchin and a tuxedo urchin.
Pipe fish and the trigger seem to get a long fine and the flow doesnt seem to bother him (at least I havent noticed it).
For me I cant express enough how much this message board and other boards have helped me it also helped having a strong local reef club I have gotten so much information I just have to step back sometimes cause I feel overloaded. So a big thanks to all who have helped me. To be honest I have done nothing special and anyone can do a tank like this (dont tell anyone it wasnt hard
). I have just read a lot and made sure to try and create what I thought would be the best enviroment. Biggest thing is to have fun because after all this is a hobby).
To end I snapped a few more pics and thought I would share. Once again if there are anymroe questions feel free and shout them out

Well I just thought I would share that my pipe fish didnt make it found him being over taken this monrning by cleaner shrimp. In retrospect it really wasnt the smartest idea I have ever had I knew it would be difficult but I thought I was in the clear after awhile. My guess is that there wasnt enough food for him in the tank (dont ever think I really got him eating frozen). Just thought I would share since there seemed to be a decent amount of interest in keeping him before
