I thought the firefish were somewhat like damsels, that they would eventually pick off the weakest one. Maybe not in this large of a system, but I was considering a trio and a few folks stated that it may not be the best idea.

Well, when I bought my firefish it had been beaten up pretty bad by a pair that it was in the same tank with, if that's any indication...

i have 20 wrasses on my list, i just havent decided which one lol...
there will be a canopy around the tank as well as a cover on the overflow... i may even do a mesh top i do not want to risk the chance something decides to jump

My all-time favorite fish. I had one for 8 days once....died - between me and the LFS I got it from, we think cyanide poisoning.
There's two species that look almost the same, make sure you get the one that's more reef safe. I forget now which is which, but the species name of one starts with an "A" and the other with a "D". I think the "D" one is the safer one....but you probably already know all of this!

I don't really need a figure, I was just wondering for your own sake which method of planning you are using. Plan list of cost from the beginning, or just buy as you go knowing it's going to hurt. To me, you seem more like a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants purchaser, but then again you surprised me with that poetry bit the other day.

lol- if i like something i buy it.. i dont ask questions, i dont cringe, and i dont ever get buyer remorse... with a little reaserch people can easily figure out what i have dumped into this, and it isnt even wet yet... hell the display isnt even here.. i will however say this.... i did plan on going used in some areas and i didnt... skimmer, nps tank, tunze wave boxes.... so i will say i will be over what i had expected to spend.... but i am trimming costs as well, wood stand..... and ummmm i think thats it lol.....
--------- where i will end up at
---------- what i planned on spending
as far as the poetry goes.... im just so punk rock man.... ya never know what i will say or do next.... its the only way to live
