That makes 2 people that have warned me against the basslet. 
So I've had him in my 28g cube for over a year...I've seen a couple that are slightly larger than him, but he's pretty close to maxing out in size. My angel pestered him to the point that he hid in a corner for the week before I removed the angel, and he currently gets pushed around by both of my wrasses, and even the diamond goby sometimes chases him away from his area of the tank. I'm hoping that he behaves...he's definitely fairly timid compared to what I've heard about them. I'd consider skipping him on this build, but he's the one fish that my girlfriend picked out when I started my first reef, so that wouldn't go over too well, haha. Say a little prayer for me, hopefully he does OK. :torn:
Lol, thanks. I learned from my mistakes with my first build, and I rushed into things a little too quickly on the nano I put together after that. I'm hoping the slow start pays off on this build.
The new fish are being acclimated...it's so convenient being able to float the bag in the sump and drip acclimate from the DT.
The water change this morning didn't go as smoothly as I hoped, but I got it done. I need to replace the fitting on the drain so that it fits the hose I bought...thought the fitting was 5/8" but it's 3/4"...woops. I also hooked up my TLF reactor to an MJ600 this morning, and am using it to run carbon. I ended up reversing the flow on the reactor so that the carbon is pushed down by the pump, which kept it from tumbling and floating around. That brs ROX is so fine that I couldn't dial down the maxijet nearly enough without making way too much noise. The way it's setup now I have it dialed down about 50% and it's quiet enough...the carbon is sandwiched between 2 sponges, and the flow pressing it down has kept it all compacted at the bottom of the reactor.
