Oh cool! For algae control?Thank you! I know that some were a bit astounded and jaws dropped at the cost in the whole stand. Having learned a bit with each tank I have set up I was determined to plan and execute a stand that put function first but still looked great.
Thanks! The Tomini was really added long ago simply as a working fish. I tend to usually look right past him; ha!
Precisely
Tangs sure do love their Algae. My Blue Hippo attacks the green algae sheets like crazy when they drop in the tank...he and the Salfin drag the clip all through the sand bed and attack it like it's trying to steal their gold or something.Precisely
They're great; quite pleased with them. Yes, they tumble GFO quite well; much better than I was ever able to achieve with a good 'ol phosban reactor in the past.
Thanks George!
Oh my god, what a listSo I really hate to talk about what's in QT, and doing such generally breaks my superstitions of talking about fish before they're happily in the DT.
But in the spirit of keeping this thread interesting, currently in the lab:
C. earlei
C. rhomboidalis
P. piscilineatus
L. klayi
L. carmabi
And it seems I should be do for some pictures again soon. Maybe I'll focus on the lab this time?
:O we can't get l. Carmabi in Australia and they're my dream fish! 
I highly approve of this list. Especially the Lipogramma and Liopropoma.So I really hate to talk about what's in QT, and doing such generally breaks my superstitions of talking about fish before they're happily in the DT.

Thank you kindly and truly my pleasure!Oh my god, what a list
I have to say you're most definitely my number one inspiration for my tank stock list as it somehow ended up being very heavily wrasse dominated! Lol just reading your posts and your knowledge is awesome!
Just my little fan boy rant for you
Ok.Yes Please!
Thank you!
Thanks TJ.
I have those two together in a 10g QT, and it's kind of fun how they interact together. I was expecting them to keep some distance and was a bit concerned about them not tolerating each other, but the klayi tends to stay at the flanks of the carmabi. 
That's a shame you didn't go with the evides, I personally prefer them to the klayi, but I will have to settle for a Chrysiptera tricincta to get that jailbird look.Thank you kindly and truly my pleasure!
Ok.
Thank you!
Here's a good starting place: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/all-about-reef-safe-wrasses-in-aquaria.259894/
Assuming it's a 60 cube, stick to species which do not exceed 3" as an adult. There's several dozen different species that would fit the bill.
Thanks TJ.
I was tried to be talked into L. evides as well, but I just don't find the appeal with the species. And I feel a bit silly putting a tiny klayi into a big tank, but meh.
I am certain the average viewer would have not seen any difference between evides and my B&W ocellaris pair. And considering the price point, I wasn't sure I wanted to cringe that hard each time it happened.
I loose very few fish in QT, so this was a bit depressing.
I'll share a couple stories of QT woes since I've had the tank setup.
Back in September I had 3 fish in QT; I had mentioned as much somewhere along the line. They were a rhomboidalis, rubricaudalis, and a carmabi. All were doing great and I was on to week 3 of QT, when suddenly they all went from alive and fine one morning to all dead within 8 hours, with weird red streaks. Some sort of gram negative infection.
My next endeavor was trying a group of 6 Clepticus parrae. They came in just fine, but were tiny; all 1.5" or so. I found right away that they needed a lot of flow, otherwise they stayed pretty spooked and would not eat. Being so small, they were difficult to offer food to, as fish eggs and ova were about the only thing I had that was small enough for them. Ultimately, I simply couldn't feed them enough, often enough. Slowly I lost them one by one on weeks 4-6 of QT. I managed to get two to the DT, but one died in the acclimation box (was already weak) and the sole survivor was released - to never be seen again. If I were to try again with them, I would definitely start with larger specimens, as I feel I would have had a fair shot had they been large enough to offer more foods to.
I'm sorry for your losses.
The first story sucked; plain and simple.Man Hunter. Those are sad stories.
Of course; it can't all be smooth sailing.Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! Yes, I will do such. We all can learn from another, and it makes us all better ultimately.
Me too, and I think I understand what it takes now. But tiny ones really stack the deck against you.
