Keep them coming!
You need to start a separate thread on tank photography. Beautiful shots. I've struggled with white balance using LED lighting. Difficult to get accurate color representation. Any tricks?

Picked up the final fish for this tank, Jemma the Femininus wrasse. Was eating frozen in store and 2 days after being in the tank is already eating flake:
Thanks Deer Park aquarium for the first class stock as always!

Seeing as the tank is a year old now, thought I should post an update. Most things are going along well, have lost a few more LPS to brown jelly, but I am hopeful it is gone now..... Hopefully...
SPS in the tank is really doing well with the calcium reactor, so slowly moving in that direction (which seems to be common after a year!)
Automated water changes are fantastic, only really feed the fish, clean the glass and swap the filter socks now. Very relaxing. Also added some supplement T5's over the tank, two banks of 4 tubes. Each bank runs for 2 hours, with a half hour overlap just to give the tank some epic PAR for a few hours. So I have 4 GHL mitras and 8 80w T5 tubes over the tank. Should be enough.... HAHAHA
Anyway, here are a few pictures - pretty much just waiting for things to grow out now, have the fish list complete and near enough coral in there - just need them bigger!!

Hey guys,
sorry it has taken so long for an update, finally got around to snapping a few quick pics today of my latest/favourite fish and corals. No new fish in the tank, but all that are in there are doing very well (took a few front on pics so you can see how fat they are!) Have a couple bits of new equipment in the tank to help keep parameters in check as the tank gets older. Algae scrubber replaces the refugium and I am about to setup a recirculating sulphur reactor to keep nitrates in check.
Anyway, enough chat - here are the pics!
