Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I have ordered pumps and sand. Once the pumps get here I will start building the sump and take plenty of pics. Unfortunately, the skimmer I was planning on will not fit in my sump, I will have to down size to the SWC Xtreme 200, it is still rated for a tank as large as mine, but I would prefer to use a larger one.

lol good point with the blue tangs lol
have you thought of caribean mimic tangs?
and can you fit 2 smaller skimmers in your sump? the more skimmer the better IMO
if you can get like 2 reef octopus 150s that would be sweet

Lol I know what you mean, I saw it on animal planet the other day. I forgot if it was "Planet Earth" or the other show....I forgot something with "Sea"
It was interesting...hope my convict doesn't mind being by himself...however he still has his naso friend.
Call the Tang Police - my 210 houses - Powder Brown, Hippo Blue, Atlantic Blue, Yellow Mimic, Scopus, and Tomini Tangs - they very much shoal. Had only a brief occurances of dominance issue when introducing the atlantic but it ended well.
Lol, why would anyone call the tang police. You have a 6'x2' tank and 3 of those 6 tangs don't even need a 6' tank.
I'll get some pics this weekend and post them on a new thread (no hijacking) - as for "why" the Tang Police - my LFS ( the self proclaimed world's largest fish store) said theres no way I'd be able to have more than 3 Tangs in my tank due to aggression issues and nitrate issues. They were wrong on both accounts. Organic carbon dosing(Vodka 3mil. daily) keeps the Nitrates @ 10-20ppm w/ 6 Tangs + Clown, gramma ,Dwarf angel, wrasse, and hawkfish as well as daily coral feedings of 20mil.
Well, some update is better then none.
The RODI and GFO reactor showed up from BRS today. Must say I am pleased at first glance. They appear to be high quality and great value. I will keep the updates coming as boxes show up on the door.
