Robert I have one more fish than you in my tank (A Sailfin) and I've had no real problems, but I suspect I'm always's "teetering on the brink" since if my skimmer isn't cleaned religiously, or I skip a WC things start going downhill. I'm trying to talk myself into rearranging the rocks this weekend (Believe it or not, they are in their original config from day one - 18 months ago) and I will be removing both the yellow and sailfin tang, they're lps pickers.

Thanks again everyone! Adam, I am going to get more rock for asthetics and to have some more room closer to the lights for SPS. Thanks Blue, I do water changes every two weeks and wipe down the wievinbf panels about every 4 to six days. I siphon the jusnk too heavy to float when I do WC. It collects in to piles in the front.
Roger, I knew I would hang on that edge too so I got small fish for the most part!

Im nor realy concerned with the rule of thumb about LR, its a bb with high flow and a good skimmer. The flow design works dang neer perfect at keeping stuff suspended or in a spot for easy removal. Flow is the key!!!

I don't think that rule is valid anymore.

basically yes, but its not done. I have more rock to get and also a calcium reactor. Its only a couple of months old. I am not in a rish to waste money on coral Im not ready to keep. Still have to add the MH when I build a new canopy. So lets just say its a reef in progress, there are after all some zoo's! I almost decided to rush it and throw a bunch of stuff in there but then decided against it.
