Just thought I would let everyone know that I am still alive and kicking. The 8'er is doing OK not much has changed YET. When I can get to it I want to re-do my aquascaping.

Unfortunately the nudies did not make it long because of the closed loop flow and got stuck on the intake's about 2 weeks ago but the Sailfin seems to be doing well and might even be growing it's fin back.

Nice tank, I wish I could have gone 8' but space limitations left me at 6'.
Nudies often are very diet specific and will often die of starvation after not long in a tank... if they survive the intakes/powerheads. There is one kind of Nudie that eats aptaisia and nothing else... so you have an aptaisia problem you get one then it munches them all... no food left so it dies... I have heard of someone growing aptaisia in their refuge and moving a rock up to the DT every week or so... just to keep their nudie alive and keeping the DT clear.
Make sure that when you rescape you take some before and after pics
What other fish you plan on getting? Or do you plan on just... not planning and getting fish when you see one that "fits".

The Nudies that we picked up at Ocean City algea eaters and where doing a great job until they ventured off the glass and onto the sand/rock where the closed loop flow sent them off into the intakes.

For fish I would like to add about 5 more blue green chromis, a powder blue tang, a koran angle and a blonde naso tang if I can find some really small one's

And I have to finish my 67 gal pred tank so I can move my maroon clown, fox face, scribbled rabbit, yellow damsel, blue fin damsel and chocolate chip star fish from there current 30 gal home.
