    Congrats on what sounds like a job well done, well researched and well thought out!

    The stocking list is getting about maxed though, depends on how the react to eachother! I'd add the gramma last!

    Also look into adding a protein skimmer and modifying the AC70 into a fuge to grow some pods for your fish and add some chaeto for nutrient export!

    Good job, good luck and welcome!

    Thanks cosmo!

    Oh ya, the stock is definitly maxed, so we are considering only 5. Gramma will be last, yes:)

    We want a fuge, but it will be with an AC50 most likely..when we get the money:p

    As youll all soon find out, my bro and i are teenagers..broke teenagers lol!

    IMO i'd take the midas off the list, they get pretty large and active, a 30 gallon can only handle so many fish with only an AC70. Your basslets may eat your shrimps to.

    Yeah? I could easily replace him, so ill think about it:)

    Really? Not enough? Ive got 40 lbs of rock so thats some pretty good bio filtration.

    Ill keep that in mind. I definitly plan on alot of shrimp. Good thing the chalk bass stay small. So far he hasnt messed with the large cleaner, or small peppermint

    The scape looks siiiick! But yeah I agree with the Midas, they can get to be 6" long... But IMO everything else looks great! I would definately get some chaeto going ASAP. That stuff does wonders for my tank.
