Looking good, what light or combo is that and what skimmer are you using? Any concern that cleaning the skimmer will be a PITA? Did you think about a fuge? Also curious what kind of evap you've currently experiencing. How loud is the overflow? I'm thinking using both the factory holes as drains with a full siphon on one with a backup and either taking the return up the back or drilling another hole and bulkhead in the overflow. Stand looks great, with the tank being frameless any concern about not having supports under the center portion of the top?
I'd QT inverts and corals too just to be safe. (Seperate tank) Sorry to hear you had such s loss..So haven’t posted in a while but thought I would give update.
Things were going swimmingly until a little over a month ago. I had 6 wrasse and my white tail tang eating like pigs and getting along great. But they all died within two weeks after I noticed what I thought was ich at first but turned out to be velvet. They all died a little over a month ago. I was going to maintain at first because I thought it was ich but the white tail had too many spots for ich so I think it was velvet. I thought it was gone at points and then noticed it in the evening more. Whitetail died first after a little over a week once I noticed it and then it wiped out all my wrasse. Cleaner first, then both juvenile Rhomboids, exquisite. My flame and Brunneus lasted the longest but both died in QT. The Brunneus was with me for almost 2 years. I was lucky enough to trap them in my acclimation box instead of dismantling the tank to remove them. I FE dipped and then 75 min in Ruby Reef. They died in cupramine treatment within a week. I do t know if they succumbed to the velvet or died from not eating. They were swimming but just not eating.
Now I am about 1 month fallow. I feed the tank and corals with mysis and reef roids once a week and have had my skimmer on and off. Trying to maintain some dirty water for my SPS and LPS.
So after years of playing with fire and no QT, I have a QT system set up. A 20L for observation and prazi treatments and two 10 gallons got TTM. Right now I have three wrasse my LFS ordered for me and just competed first round of prazi.
My wrasse list is pretty extensive but these three are great start. They are eating like pigs.

C. Lineatus
C. Isosceles
Doing water change today and then second round of prazi on Tuesday night.
But now need to make decision on whether I start QTing corals and inverts.
Hmmmmm....
I was on my phone and The few post did not come out as I wanted .
Thanks! Yeah bigger tank would have been great but I like the footprint of this tank for the space I have. Next tank will be peninsula.Looks great! I love and hate cube tanks. Love the look and dimensions, but hate that they sometimes limit you on fish selection.
Thanks. So far so good on these first three wrasses in QT.Sorry about the loss, I know I'd be pretty devastated if I lost all my fish, I've had most of them for 5-10 years at this point. Good luck with the reset. Any issues with the wrasses jumping out of the tank or do you have a lid of some sort? Most of the wrasses I've tried over the years have ended up on the floor so I gave up.
Thanks for asking. Well so far. Been three weeks in QT and 2 rounds of Prazi. I think my Rhombodalis has a internal parasite and am trying to get that figured out as he is a finicky eater and can smell the Metro and Focus a mile away. Soaking it in Selcon tonight. We shall see. Also in the middle of TTM for any possible ICH but they are very clean and eating well otherwise.How are your wrasse doing?
Flukes and internal parasites... The wrasse ailments. At least flukes are a little easier to deal with. What are you feeding?
