I like the colour of your wall. Are you going mainly fuzzy sticks with this tank? LED’s?

Thx guys. It'll be a mix for sure. Gorgs, acans, zoas, and certainly sticks too. Will be lit by t5 and I may toss some of those bright white led clusters down the middle for some shimmer.

Unfortunately I've been forced to hide the jackposts in the basement since they're in my wife's dayhome space so I've been busy framing and drywalling when I should be reefing. However I did manage to leak test the new tank and put in my rocks. I need to source a
new threaded elbow for my ro/di and filters so I can get to making proper water. My ranco temp controller also came in the mail. Baby steps!

Looks good. How is the overflow and back panel constructed?

Thanks guys. Overflow is standard external with three holes. Primary siphon with trickle down the emergency and third is my return which I still need to fit with some loc-line. Black vinyl on back of tank and the overflow teeth are CNC in a black plexi insert that can be removed.

Tried out the prodibio to kick start the tank maybe a month ago. Have started adding my fish / coral feeders and as I typically do I'm adding all the fish I've had before and loved. Really need a nice Kole tang though! Just have a strip of RGB LEDs I had kicking around over the tank for now just so I can watch the fish. Will hopefully get to constructing the light canopy soon.

No great pics to share but so far for fish I have

7 chromis
2 3-stripe
Pair of squarespot
Naso
Tailspot

And best of all my best friend gave me back the black leopard wrasse from my avatar. She must be at least 6 years old now and she's got adult colorations in her face so it's green marble instead of white spots. She has only been in the tank 2 days and was asleep before I came home from work. Hope to get a picture soon. Wish i still had access to a macro lens. When I'm ready I'll be getting frags of some of my old gorgs as well. Super stoked!

Looks great so far! Who's that in front of the Naso in the second photo, is that the female anthias? Looks kinda yellow?

Yes that's the female. Similar to previous times I've had these she seems WAY smarter than the male lol.
