What is the fish list going to be?

That is a question I still have.
It will for sure have a Pair of Potters Angles as soon as I can find 2 that I like.

s the tank going to be stocked with strictly Florida Ricordea or Haitian Ricordea or will you include some Yumas?

---

It will have both Florida & Haitian.
Presently, the Florida far out number the Haitian.
There may be to much flow & Lighting for the Yumas, but I will be giving them a try.
I have 3 that I am acclimating.

Sweet recirculating idea!! The skimmer gonna be plumbed in recirculating also?

This system will have a Sump w/Skimmer along with 3 other tanks.
I forgot to mention that there will also be ( 2 ) bulkheads from the return pump for a total of ( 9 ) bulk heads in the tank.

I don't know what is more impressive , the Tank or the RO/DI system. Very noice!

---

The "Pre-Filters" are left overs from my " Fresh Water Days ".
Which I use instead of the Pre-Filters on the R/O unit.
The ( 3 ) Housings on the R/O Unit are Clear, which I use all 3 for De-ionizer.

Impressive design and layout. I'm not sure on the name of the rock either but I bought some live that looks similar and have found it to be a detritus/algae magnet. Though with the multi-angle flow you'll have you may not have that issue.

Also, what are those red polyps in the background and how can I get some?

Erectus, There color has faded a little.

Potter are amazing but very questionable with the clam......I once had an Ebili that was a model citizen. Hope they work out for you!

I know you've been working on this a while. Have you set yourself a "Done Date" yet?!!

I am not setting a "Done Date".
If I did not have another system already, I may have.
But, I do not want to rush this project. this will be my last one for awhile and I want it right.

What is the next step of this baby?

It has been awhile.
So, I thought I better post a few updates.
There has been a few Ups and ( 1 ) big down.
I lost all of my Ricordea Florida.

Here is a Full Tank Shot
