    Well its been a few weeks and I've been letting the tank mellow after the cycle, but now there is actually stuff going on so I'll update this thread accordingly. I added some Pukani dry rock from BRS and about 20# more Torpic Eden Reeflakes to the system since the above so it looks alot more filled out.
    The chromis were removed as they were needless bioload and I added a few snails in their place to pick off some of the algae that is starting to form on the glass.
    On 4/2/1 I added a Watanabei angel female to start off my collection of deepwater fishes of Vanuatu and Hawaii. Hopefully various wrasses and anthias will supplement my collection. I may even form a harem of Watanabeis, who knows.
    Coral stock will consist mainly of "deepwater acros" such as echinatas, elegans, granulosa, lokani, suharsonoi, etc.
    I'll update with some pics in the coming days.

    If you copy and pasted from MS Word, it often will truncate the post due to using a different character set than the CR database. This often happens at apostrophes, quotes, dashes, 3 periods in a row, etc. I often use this tool to clean the text prior to posting: http://jhy.io/tools/convert-word-to-plain-text

    Yeah, I might just add another male or another female. I'm looking into a masked swallowtail as well.
