Is this a juvi or an adult? Does the juvi look different from the adult? What other names does it go by?

Yes I have to agree with everyone - beautiful tank Mike and that is one very beautiful fish. I can't wait until your tank is featured so we can see more - Sept/Oct can't wait!

I bet - I have a DIY GEO that is on my 65g tank now. It's 6" in dia x 24" tall. Everything down to the pumps were put in place. Like you said - Two 10 dia x 30" high reactors might be in order, what media are you using?

I use 3 types .. Gen-x in the first, ARM and Mag chip,s in the second chamber. I run the reactor at 6.0 to 6.1...and have a hard time keeping Cal at 400.. To much stuffff.. And to many Clam's..
