:D Is that a maroon clown? We had some where i work and when we were selling the anemones with him he got relly pi$$ed and started biting your hand.(Thank god they bought him too.) Looks awesome.
 
whats the total cost that you have put into the tank so far and is that tank acrylic or glass?
 
Wow! What an awesome tank, it appears you really know what you're doing and all those creatures will have a very nice home. And I have to say, the spot you have your tank is PERFECT for that tank! Truely beutiful setup!

Maroons are mean little buggers they have actualy been known to spit gravel at humans when they aproach the tank. :eek:

Thanks for the compliments everyone

Now to answer some questions

The tank is an Acrylic 125g with built in prefilter.
It's not a maroon it's a Percula Clown (My daughter had to have Nemo)
As far as the cost :S Doggfather had also asked me and I have been looking for my invoice but cant find it. I talked to my friend at the LFS about it and basically, I bought a package deal (everything was custom built)

The tank, lights, wet/dry sump, skimmer, return pump, UV, stand, 70 lbs LR, 150 lbs ? LS, and all the plumbing for $3,500.

If it was all separate it would have been around more, $500 more (I think)

Since then I have bought about another 100 lbs of LR at $4 a pound ($400)
3 powerheads, a heater, power strips and timers for the lights, wave maker for the powerheads, food for fish and coral and all the critters you can see in my sig.
I'm sure I'm missing some minor stuff but
I would say I'm $4,400 to $4,600 into it right now. (US dollars)
