3. Ok so the hard questions now, lets see

Tank 1: 60 gal Starphire Cube, 24"X24"X24, built in overflow, 20 gal sump, protein skimmer, JBJ Auto top off, Eheim heater, Eheim Auto Feeder, 250W MH, 24W x 4 Actinics, LED Moon lights, Eheim return, Blue Hippo, Mated Pair Ocellaris, Yellow tang, 2 Cleaner shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp, Red Hornets, Blue Hornets, Purple Hornets, Rastas, Blue Eyed Blond *****, Magicians, Eagle Eye, Favia, Pink Flower Pot, SPS x2 (cant recall names at the moment), Acans, Yuma

Tank 2: 30 gal bow front, not sure on measurements at this time, Eheim heater, protein skimmer, 250W MH, LED Moon lights, 2 peppermint shrimp, hammer head

4. Im an active duty Marine getting ready to be retired, I started with a 1 gal and moved to a 10, then a 30, and finally after a few weeks a 55 gal. I had that for a while then got out of the hobby for I think two deployments. The wife got into it with the 30 gal bow front, and after about a year I got her the 60 gal Starphire cube. And now I have the 30 gal to use as I please. Im still trying to talk her into a 150 or so but she swears we cant fit it, I know we can is we really wanted to hahahah.

6. No help, but if you have any nice Zoas please PM me!

Haha I know the feeling I had heart surgery, and after something like that the body changes so good bye to a 6 pack and bring on the extra tire. You are out by RSM right? Where do you go for a LFS? We have one in Capo Reef but they have lost their edge and we are looking for a new place to go.

Yep I'm out by Rancho. We don't have much to choose from as far as Lfs in our area. I go to Coral Gazers in Tustin Chads a good guy (he's building my new 225 right now) CG has a good assortment of corals and they build systems for you. So Cal Tropical Reef in Orange (Tom has good prices for supplies) and his coral and fish get better all the time. My secret spot is Sandbar pet shop in Mission Viejo. Eric takes care or the tanks now it's 100% better than they used to be. Not a huge selection but every now and then they have some nice fish for a good price. Eric knows his stuff and has home grown corals in his own frag tanks.

Great picts. Love your inverted. In post #15 Pict #7 what are the green tubes? I've seen the before but have no idea what they are. In post#16 Pict #4 we have very similar zoas. They have minute green dust speckles around the mouth. Do you know the name of yours?

Post 16 is our Jokers, post 15 it eats Calcium Neomeris annulata, I manually removed them. Post a picture of yours, It sounds like you might have a purple people eater.

** By the wife's request, the cube is her tank! Thank you.
