Hey what's up everybody?
I am restarting my reeftank. We recently moved and took advantage of revamping everything. I had algae problems in the previous house, I think I had poor water problems with my RODI at the previous house.
Anyway. We are restarting. Very exciting times. Nothing like starting a reef tank, you get to feel like a child all over again.
The plan for this tank is to mainly be a display with multiple angles, despite its size, I want to show multiple displays within the same tank. I am also considering placing GSP on the back panel with an assortment of monti's shelving out.
SETUP:

As for fish. there was a clownfish that was traded as I'll be doing something different with this tank.
So far, I was thinking, and hoping for input on my fish selection possibilties. Would you add or subtract or have a different list altogether?
