Your tank looks great. I realy like your school of harlequins, they are an all time favorite.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, and thanks jeff for the address... I'll have to see if I can make it out there sometime to check out the stock.
As far as the black brush goes, I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing...
So far I've cut down on the photo-period and broken it into two smaller chunks of light. I've also started using a carbon supplement similar to excel; it seems to have started killing off the bit of hair algae I have going on.
Supposedly, a true SAE will eat the black brush, although I'm skeptical. I've out in orders for them at my LFS, lets see if they can deliver.
I added the first of the GBR, looks like two males and two females although 3 of them are still too young to sex. They were okay the first two days, but now they've become rather skittish every time I enter the room but I've read that it is normal for cichlids (?).
I'll get a FTS up tonight and a couple pics of the GBRs if they aren't shy.

Even with the slight algae in there, your tank still looks great
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Great looking tank, just saw the pics and progress and i'm impressed. currently doing a redo as well, and going a low tech set up.
but to address your question with the rams. my experience with EBRs, and bolivians is that it took them a week or so to get used to their environment. they used to shy away from me....now they know when i'm in the room (run from everyone else ) and are curious to what i'm doing when i walk by or take time to look at the tank. its great! biggest personality per size! lol

Here are some pics guys...
An FTS from tonight:

A pic a GBR, assumed to be female (?)

I've got one male for sure and hes been chasing the other three around... no takers yet. Another one of the GBRs has been playful with the others as well which makes me think that hes also male, but his colors tend to fade if the big guy is around or if I enter the room too quickly... only time will tell I suppose.
I've also added around 30 more rasboras... I hope you can tell from the picture... I'll have to get a video of them schooling up soon, its quite spectacular.

I would love to see a large school like that
Post a video when you have a chance. It sure can be interesting to watch some types of schooling fish when they are in larger schools
