That's your first tank? Wow, it looks great. Most people post "here's my first tank" and they have photos of a small tank with bare rock.

How long has it been established? Did you start from scratch or did you purchase someone elses complete set up. From all the coral frags it looks like you have been doing alot of shopping 
I like all the chromis. I count seven in one of those pics. I just added three new ones to my existing two brutes and after a short "get to know each other" period they are happily schooling 50% of the time.

First I bought a 110 gal tank with water, live rock and live sand. No corals. Then I found a 90 gal tank with a oak stand and canopy that matched my furniture so I moved the sand, water and rock in a 90 gal tank. I picked up several corals from different places and then I found a 55 gal and 65 gal for sale with corals. I put all of the corals in my 90 gal. My plans are to move some of the corals into the 65 gal tank once it has cycled and is established.
Their are a total of 12 chromis. Cool little fish.

Why don't you want the cucumber - just because it is ugly?
Anyway, if you can figure a way to get it from Evanston to me (Lehi) I'd be interested in it

Your tank looks excellent - especially for a "first tank"!

I suspect that you are moving too fast for your knowledge base. There is a lot to learn in this hobby. Take some more time to read up about filtration, water flow, water parameters, aquascaping coral care, herbivores vs. carnivores, preventing an algae bloom, etc, etc. Without increasing your knowledge of these things, that tank won't look so pretty 3 months from now. A few specific comments: The solid row of rock around the bottom sand is going to create problems down the line. I'd keep the Cuke because the tank will soon need it. Bob already mentioned coral placement for the SPS. The Blundell Buttons are being bothered by something. That's all I have time to comment on right now. My 2 cents
