Josh's first and a half reef

Here's a few things I picked up the weekend new sump ready to go just need to throw it in
 
Sump is in couldn't use the reef octopus because of space issues so I have the remora hob on using a kessil 160 for light and I added 2 mp 10s to replace the jebao's
 
I've had this little valentini in for a little over a week now I know he's a risk but I don't have any 800$ corals just yet and so far he's been a model citizen so well see how it goes last pic looks like he wants a piece of that monti but either he doesn't like the taste or just doesn't care so far trying to keep him well fed
 
So a few days ago my pom pom crab had a few thousand kids most were eaten but I was able to siphon out a nice handful. Dropped a little phyto in their fry bottle and hatched some baby brine I know they won't make it but it was a neat experience and its fun to try :) I'd take some pics but my camera is way too crappy
 
Thanks.. It has been fun and a disaster all in one go..LOL
I will be happy when I get it flowing it right and can make it salty, but till then it is a tinker as I go.. :)

That overflow into the tray is pretty exciting I've never seen that before, very cool
