Looking great Bronc! I'm sorry for your fish loses. Did the goby get velvet? I love how you've been added a lot of coral variety. How is the water profile these days? I'm trying to hold off on adding more SPS but I couldn't resist the Doral Dudes sale over the weekend and...lol.

It was either velvet or the Banded Coral Shrimp that was killing fish, so he got flushed. Everything else is doing well. I had decided to increase all of my parameters to match the Red Sea Pro Salt, but after reading a bunch of Randy's articles I decided to change back to more standard parameters. Still fine tuning them now and getting the dosing pump dialed in. Should be nice and stable by next week. I'd like to find some small Millepora colonies to add soon, too.

You are giving me the fever to set up my 20 gal. I have a 20 and a 40 that I am dying to set up, but one at a time. My main tank is still a work in progress. Your tank looks great though. Really like your coral selection and the scape.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I'm dying to get a 75. Soon, soon..

Well, I bought a used 75g tank with sump today!! I resisted the urge to install it immediately and plan to to clean it up, re-stain it, seal the inside of the stand and hood, replace the hinges, mount electrical, etc. I'll definitely be starting a new build thread soon!!
