future plans:

actinic to balance out the iwasakis
refugium
clean up the sump area
moonlighting
more rock - either live or dead, just more
more fish - thinking a six line, perhaps a longnose butterfly, who knows what else
more coral - probably just a bunch of easy crap like xenia, leathers, some lps, ricordias and zoos (maybe some montis someday)

and that's about it
