That is a very nice tank, congrats.!!!
Great scape.

Nice scape! I have the same tank/stand and I think your stand is upside down??

 

[Nats-Reefer]

I think your stand is upside down??

We decided to keep it inverted due to the thicker base look to help blend with the baseboard trim. Also, we wanted the bottom open space for storage.

So we got the ATO working, skimmer is in the tank, and hydra 26 is working

Here are new pictures of the tank

What fish would you recommend with this stock?

Flasher Wrasse
Variable Jawfish
Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse
