For right now this is what I am thinking...
Fish Wish List:
School of Bicolor Chromis
Lamarck's Angelfish
Midas Blenny (one of the first saltwater fish I ever got)
Some gobies (thinking some goby and shrimp pairing)
Foxface Lo (Finally going to try my first one)
Tang - I haven't chosen which one yet. I have typically had Yellows and Koles . I am thinking of maybe doing something different this time. Any ideas?
And the fish that I have been wanting to have for a looong time. Harlequin Tusk
Corals:
I am going to try and do a Caribbean feel similar to what I saw diving. Going to try a lot of gorgs, some softies, montis, and what I really want to find is a good size brain. Like a softball size would be amazing. I don't know where I'd find something that large, but it'd be sweet. I saw amazing HUGE brain corals in the Caribbean. I also saw a ecoxotic video where they had a good size brain coral which looked great as a show piece.

shrimp and a harlequin tusk might not go great at least for the shrimp
lol Ya I am a little worried about that, but the more I have been reading some people's experiences with them the more I hear that if I feed him enough it should be alright. Should is the keyword there.

so diatoms have erupted! cloudiness is still a little high . Don't really understand that one. I did more testing today and I was completely flabbergasted by the results. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5 . This doesn't make sense at all after only 10 days.

Ok so since the readings showed what they did and I have a tank full of diatoms, I added some snails. I added some Florida Ceriths, drawf Ceriths and some nerites. All of the Floridas died, the drawves are good and the nerites are mixed. I have never had snails die so quickly. I tested KH today as well. It is at 8dkh. Any ideas? Also the cloudiness is strange. I may just be on too high of alert, but this is the strangest cycle I've had. @Randy Holmes-Farley do you have any ideas? Thank you!

I moved to Tennessee, so it is in the midst of an overhaul lol. Everything is crammed into 2 40g breeders until my new RO system arrives, then I will get the 110 back up and running. It will bounce back eventually
