Haha no. I was just seeing how the holder fit in the rim of a tank.

For fish I have 2 occ clowns, 1 bengaii cardinal, 1 green chromis.

Was thinking maybe a couple gobies and I want to add a couple tangs. I was thinking a yellow and a hippo. Thoughts, suggestions, experiences?

How is the plumbing coming along?

Everything is done and transfered. Skimmer is already producing skimmate and things seem to be transitioning nicely.

Ahh very glad to hear. Any new pictures?

Nice job on the stand? Are you gonna keep it the natural color?

Yes. When it gets warmer and i can open windows i want to poly it.

So I have been researching fish and I think I like this list. Please tell me what you think

I have
2 clowns, a chromis, and a bangaii cardinal.
I want to add
a powder blue, a kole tang, possibly a yellow tang a flame hawkfish, and a checkerboard wrasse.

Didnt get the wrasse or hawkfish but got the others and a ranfords goby
