Great size tank for a marine tank.

Is that a Moorish Idol or a Banner fish? bit hard to tell from the pic. Moorish idols are notoriously hard to keep, especially in newly established tanks. Banner fish aren't really reef safe either. Longfin banner fish will usually pick at corals and will eat small inverts, schooling bannerfish are usually a little more reef safe.

Always good to do PLENTY of research before adding fish to a reef tank, I spent countless hours trying to remove problem fish, that could have been avoided if I was a little more careful in my fish selection. Big pain especially when you have all your rock/coral positioned how you want it.

What lights are you running?

Looks like you have good coraline algae growth which is always a good sign. Pain in the butt when you get it on your front glass though. Just a tip for removing algae, never use the algae magnet things. I used one and tiny bits of sand/crap got stuck to it (even though I couldn't see it stuck to the magnet) and scratched up a tank pretty badly, much safer to use a nice flat razor.

Best of luck with the tank, look forward to seeing it progress.
