Got the last fish I want, a Royal Gramma. Here are some tank pics. The only other fish I want is a Cleaner Wrasse. I want to successfully keep this fish, it's a goal of mine. I'll wait until I can get a bigger tank.

DO NOT EVER GET CLEANER WRASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
almost no cw's are bred in captivity, they're all wild caught. when you take them out their posts (and yeah they do set up stations) go unattended and disease breaksout in the area. it's a real strain on the ecosystem.
also you need a really REALLY large tank (10's of thousands) chocked full of large fish to even think bout feeding them properly. they almost never take premade foods.
 
but overall nicetank!
i would get another firefish, they do better in at least pairs.

Nice.Im getting an itch to start a salt tank myself.
Itch,I have gotten such a rash that I went out and bought a 210 gallon tank.
 
watch out for the firefish.. may get beat up from the gramma.. Looks great though.

They are getting along well so far.
 
Very nice!!! I'm almost ready to get my system set up. I can't wait. There will be pictures in the next few months!!!
 
Have to say i agree on the theory behind not keeping cleaner wrasses but it can be done in small tanks. Ide say about a qtr to maybe a half of the cleaner wrasses i have seen ended up eating prepared food.
Its doable just probably not ethically right to do it.
