A few new shots of the tank. Everything is really starting to grow!

Illuminati Zoas. My favorite zoa so far.

I should have got this salinity checker sooner! So handy. Definitely done with my refractometer.

Yep that thing was a game changer for me!

I have planned to do something 120 or larger and you may have sold me on the shallow. Great thread!

 

[Opes]

So ready for this thing to fill in!

just a suggestion move the tubes in you sump for the return and make them strait and then you can have more flow over all.

Decided I wanted to fire up the refugium. I really don't have much issue with phosphate, but I really do think it is beneficial by increasing biodiversity and helping feed the corals. I like to give the cheato a shake a couple times a week, and that has always got good polyp response for me. I decided on this "canagrow" LED light off of Amazon.

I am running my return at full flow and still have an extra overflow for backup. I will change it up if it ever is an issue, but so far so good.

Picked up this Court Jester Goby from Biota. So far he is a really interesting addition. So glad to see so many aquacultured fish coming available!

Looks fantastic.

Thanks!

Got tired of the two part dosing. My most successful tank was ran with a Calx Reactor. Just got one ordered for this reef. Can't wait to get it! Geo 612.

Added the final couple fish on my list yesterday. A nice Blue Throat Trigger and a fox face. My Tomini Tang did not take it well. He got so fired up he scraped himself on rocks chasing and flashing aggressively. Luckily that has chilled out.

My fish list:
Tomini Tang
Yellow Tang
Hippo Tang
Blue Jaw Trigger
Fox Face Rabbit Fish
Talbots Damsel
Pink Spot Watchman Goby
Snowflake clown
Biota Court Jester Goby

Grew tired of dosing and was really missing having a calcium reactor. Ordered one from Geo a couple months ago and it finally showed up. The build quality is great. Worth the wait!
