I'm waiting on some rock. So I'm hoping in about a week or so. 1st sump tank in 13 yrs. So it should be fun learning everything all over again.
 
Have the light hung and 1 cube broken down. Still have to transfer my main cube with all the corals and the rest of my rock.

Going along nicely. Tank has been up for a month. Both biocubes broken down and in the 50 EXT. Changed the lights out for a popbloom RL90. Very happy with it so far. The app is great. I bought 200 lbs of rock from somebody for when I get my 125 set up but some of the rock had some SPS on them so I added what I could to to the EXT. Now if I can get my cheato growing I will be all set. I did have very high phosphates for 2 weeks. After 2 large water changes over 2 weeks I'm down from .38 to .09. It's getting there. The only thing I can think is from transferring the sand. I'm happy with it. A couple more weeks and I should be done. All my corals except a few are in the sand. Will start placing them in the rocks this week.

Curious about updates as well!
 
Tank is running nicely. I am loving the results I'm getting with the Popbloom LED lights. The growth and color is amazing. One of my gonis had 3 clones fall off. I have around 40 corals in the tank and 4 fish. It's a little cluttered but I'm moving the aquascape around. I did have to get rid of my centerpiece Goni. Arms were 8-9 inches long and was getting to big. I've added a clam and 2 elegance that are doing great. Haven't had any issues with equipment which has been nice.
