Soo's 1st reef 90G build

we only have 2 really good LFS here in the WNY area, one is strictly saltwater(saltwater paradise) while the other one is larger and has everything from supplies to fresh and salt water displays(the fish place) this is my choice because of the selection and the fact that i've spent countless hours in there just talking and looking rather than spending, and in return have been givin somepretty good deals by the owner, which i totally plan on taking advantage of when i get my tank going
 
We're really really lucky in my area with "reef" specialty stores, not to mention the frag guys around. There's a larger "supermarket" type of aquarium store in the area, but actually prefer not to go (used to work there ages ago) as I find the smaller stores are much more personable, and love when I just drop by to chat without even buying anything.

Anyhow, I added a sixline wrasse the other day (sick of my friends saying "where are all the fish?!", then I reply "LOOK AT THE CORALS!". I QT'd him for a few days and he seemed fine. Added him into my display, with glass top on for a few days in case it decided to jump. Seemed fine.

Looking at him today, and it seems as though he was stung/bitten on his side. Now he has a few spots of ick. I'll try to get a pic tonight. I noticed he likes to get right in and around the corals. Still seems happy, eating and swimming around like crazy... just looks beat up. LPS get him?!
 
Well... after a year I have some updates... tank is doing fairly well, and pretty well stocked. Things are just growing way too quickly.

Yes, I have a clam fetish :cool:
