Photo UPDATE:
Don't mind the big white disk glued to the overflow, I had montis that kept getting monti eating nudis so I finally chucked them as I got frustrated with trying to eradicate them. However the disk would not come off the wall lol

And some corals:
Torch

Acan frag

Ricordia rock

Bi-color hammer colony

Purple tip hammer/frogspwn colony

Kryptonite candy canes


Trachy

Duncans

Red with green center blasto

Rock flower nems

Bowerbanki frag

No I had some issues with adding a bunch of fish too fast and lost all of them so I'm waiting a few months to make sure everything is stable before I decide what fish I want to add:) and thank you!

I have an jebao rw-4 as well and then the way the out flows work on this tank there is the one at the top and then there is a return nozzle about halfway down the overflow, so we put the main pump coming through the top and a smaller pump that is running the lower one that the pump is in the back of the overflow with a flow stop valve for when the tank is off.

So in August I am going to start adding fish to my system again. The size makes for some hard decisions because a lot of the fish you could normally keep in a 100G tank really won't work too well in here because of the length. So help me with some suggestions...pretty please:)

Oh and thought I'd post this pic of my very happy and puffy trachy today (taken with iphone 6)

Fish! I always like Midas Blenny's. I was also going to recommend a blue spotted puffer. If memory serves me correctly, I think I sold my last one to you :D

I did, I loved that little guy but he started taking a liking to my corals if I remember right and I had to sell him.

As much as I love this tank it is proving to be so hard for me to deal with. We had a couple water hiccups that managed to flood my new floors several times, I think we got those all fixed but man is it hard to work in. I am so short and it is so tall.
Right now I am extremely frustrated. I absolutely love the stand and canopy we had built so I am debating on seeing about having a shorter tank made or I may end up getting rid of the whole set up and finding something that is easier for me to work in. I'm still undecided but I don't think that this tank itself will work out in the long run as it causes me more anxiety than the relaxation that my tanks normally give to me:(

Well yeah we just had an insufficient back stop piece on that second out flow and the water from my overflow sock splashed enough it shut the power off and that back flow didn't work properly so the sump overflowed a bit. The other few times it was the overflow sock and because it is such a tight space under the tank if I don't stay right on top of changing the overflow sock then it will pour out. It was our fault and the backflow part is fixed with a new much better piece, but I still need to watch the sock and figure that out. However my biggest thing is just being frustrated with the fact that I can't work well in it and if things fall it's a pain in the butt to try and get them back where they were even if they were glued down.
I'm going to take a look at a different tank today because I think having a shorter one made just won't be realistic price wise and I don't know that a shorter one would look as nice on this stand and canopy as this one does. I will more than likely sell this one and hopefully find someone with more patience than I have for a tall tank lol.
