Do you think I made a mistake by converting the WetDry? I do have the Aqua UV, & I would like to add some type of coral and give it a shot i never put any copper in.

Not at all... sometimes we use what we have. You seem to know alot about diy. I checked your images on the canopy. LOL!! Looks good. So why not utilize what you have. The issue will probably be the uv. Low flow in the uv means it will kill most planktonic food sources required for corals to thrive and killing most single celled organisms(parasites an such) leaving your water disease free. Which is a plus for Fowlr. But not good for corals. Try and see.

Nice tank too!
Briggz, have you thought of what it is that you would like to see in the tank?:) I think that it will work better if we know what your interest is.;)

Any fish in the system, including those damsels, might keep some of the ich alive in the tank even if they aren't affected.

As far as whats compatible, as long as the species you add in are compatible with what you have anything is compatible, it all depends on what you like. If you want more coral start adding more LR, if its going to be a FOWLR then keep it as it is.

And why is it hard to move rocks around in the tank? Sand storms?
