My 120 is up and running finally. I have the following all introduced last Tuesday before Thanksgiving:

Yellow-eyed Tang (x1)
Naso Tang (x1)
Magnificent Foxface Rabbitfish (x1)
Onyx Clownfish (x2)
Engineer Goby (x2)
Yellow Watchman Goby (x2)
Pygmy Wrasse (x1)
Cleaner Shrimp (x2)
Tiger Pistol Shrimp (x2)
Serpent Star (x2)
Brittle Start (x2)
And, and assortment of hermits and snails ... oh, and a Tiger Tail Cucumber.

I keep seaweed in the clip for the tangs as much as possible. I've been feeding once in the morning and a second in the early evening. 1 cube at each feeding. Been going between Mysis, Spriulina, and Reef Caviar. I sprinkled flake food this afternoon, because it seemed like all the fish were out looking for food; one of the engineer gobies was out from under the rock swimming in the open looking for food.

Am I about right? 2 cubes in the morning and 1 in the evening? Stay with 1 & 1?
 
Sounds about right but they are all greedy pigs and seem to have a never ending hunger!

And welcome to R2R as well!

That’s a great looking tank and I love the aquascape, very nice indeed!
Thanks. It's a bit tall in the one area, but I really wanted a large arch, lots of cavey spots, and lots of platforms for corals at varying levels. My friend, the coral guy, got a square tank and I really appreciate the minimalism approach too. (I want another tank!! Haha!) I got REALLY lucky picking out live rock. I got so many good pieces that my coral guy was jealous and I gave him some. I spent probably 10 hours total setting up on the floor, placing it in the tank, taking it out, back in, placing putty, balancing, gluing. It was more work than I anticipated, but happy with the final result.
 
Looks Like a Great Start , Love the Aquascape.
Feeding schedule looks good for me. It is better to feed a good variety of food in small quantity few times a day than feeding big quantity once a day.
