Lets go!!! So glad you decided to go with starting a build thread! Look forward to following along with your tank!

I believe you are doing a beautiful job with your tank! Looks great.

Wow. Considering the amount of discipline it takes to keep those living and parameters maintained, looks great in the photo, but Idk how healthy stuff is either though.

Looks great, why is the salinity so high though?

I was just going to ask the same thing

On that note, yeah the salinity seems a little high. I have a research article that said a higher salinity may help prevent the tissue necrosis in Lps, spa, however that is not in a home aquarium environment.. from my experiment on a few coral frags, too high of a specific gravity contributes to coral decline and eventually results in death.. but I am no scientist.. 1.025-1.027 is the range that things live in, higher they start to die, lower they get sick, or die..
