Cool tank! Those slits at the bottom of the overflow won't prevent it from "overflowing" since water will also be coming from the bottom? Looking forward to your updates. =)

Looking great lets see pics when you get fish in it!

It looks like you are off to a nice start! There's at least a handful of yellow fish I can think of off the top of my head, so having a yellow fish shouldn't be too hard. I didn't see the tank size listed, but here's the yellow fish that come to mind (certainly check tank requirements / compatibility with your other inhabitants): yellow tang, yellow (coris) wrasse, yellow candy hogfish, Foxface, yellow watchmam goby, yellow / gold clown goby, lemonpeel angel, yellow damsel.

Just a tip... If you like using Maxi-Jets in your tank, you may want to seriously consider buying the Algae Free Sure Grip magnetic mounts for them. They cost as much or more than the Maxi-Jets, but are completely worth it. No hassles with suction cups letting go, the powerhead falling and creating a sandstorm, etc.

I've seen plenty of tanks with factory installed overflows that are slotted in the middle or near the bottom. It doesn't create any real issues, but I would think the overflow doesn't surface skimming quite as well as one that only has a slotted top.

Thanks for the reply,s all. The over flow has another piece of glass in front of that one so it can only go over the top. The tank is 200L and the sump is around 80L so ill only be putting small fish in to the tank so if there is any wrasse that are yellow that will fit that will be great. Then ill see if i can find one that is blue cos ill have the flame angel that is red.Chears all:thumbsup:

Sound good to me. My only concern is the pink spot with the watchman. I have never owned either but from what I have read both gobies and belnnys can be aggressive towards each other. Between the two, I think the pink spot is a bit more aggressive. Another beautiful and personable yellow fish is the midas blenny. If it were me I would add those fish in the following order:

Watchman
Wrasse
Clowns
Flame Angel

Also, keep in mind that the flame has the potential to nip at corals and clams so if you are planning a reef you need to keep an eye on things. Just ordred my first Centropyge myself (Potters Angel). Personally, if I see nipping, the corals are going to be moved to another tank, given to another local reefer or taken to the LFS. Always wanted a Potters and the corals play second fiddle :)

I go at it the other way... I had peppermint shrimp in the tank that ate my hammer coral, and I promptly fed them to my African Cichlids.

[flossyfloofloo]

that tank looks stunning i love the rock layout

how are u finding the maxijet , is it a viable alterantive to a koralia?

[Cheech]

yep, the rock work is awesome! Can't wait to see it fully setup!

[greech]

Solid deep blue is kind of hard to come by unless you are looking at damsels or tangs which I would not recommend for your tank. Most blues for your size tank and that will work with the other fish you listed are other wrasses which should be fine with the Coris. Here are some options off the top of my head...

There is also a blue sided fairy wrasse but I have seen this one in person and it was muc more blue...

More deep blue/purple but a beatiful fish none the less and would fit in well...

Will cost you some $$$...
