Brunzy,

The tank is from the biggest and more reliable builder in Argentina... I'm far from everywhere haha.
The main face and one lateral are starphire glass.
Fishes will come later as I want to get all the system working properly before adding more to the list.
I already have some fishes in my 260 reef. They will be moved to the new one once is running.

I accept any fish suggestion...

I think a (pricey) golden dwarf moray stays small enough to leave all fish alone.

But if your wrasse is large enough, then a ribbon eel won't be able to eat any decently sized fish you listed. He would get smaller ones though.

Hi SantaMonica,

I've checked them and the price over here is 1-1.2k haha really expensive .

Here are some updates

Tank is officially done and sump is being fabricated right now... Hopefully I will get them by Saturday after a 1600 miles trip...
Skimmer should be here on Wednesday, Ive already got the 3 Ecotech L1 and I'm waiting for the 4 missing XR30.

Nice!

Hi guys!

I have some updates ,

As no company wanted to pickup the tank and ship it to my city (because of the size and how fragile glass is..) I had to take the car's company and drive 600 miles to Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, where the tank was made...
Tomorrow morning I will go to the company and check if everything is okay with the tank and the sump in order to head back on Friday with all the goodies (including 12 boxes of salt) 😍😎

Thanks Reef keeper,

Thanks God the aquarium fitted but we had to take apart the overflow box which I need to stick to the aquarium again.
The tank is already at my house ... So less to go,

Here are the pictures ! It wasn't easy as it's really heavy, around 1500lbs...

Thanks to my friends and the people who is working at fixing the house we manage to do it pretty well.
Now I have to wait 4 till I can fill it and move to my new house.
