So i had twins and hade to buy a bigger home. Ill be one year in December i lost most of my coral and fish during the move dew to closing around Christmas and had to stay in a hotel for a month with all my stuff and 4 month old twins lol. This is the Current state of the tank after the reset.
 
Its definitely more stable and starting to fill in. I haven't got anything new for it im upgrading tanks working on building custom things for my new build so that's taking all my time will be doing a new build thread on it soon as i get my custom sump in.
 
So i did get some crazy

WOW! The way it takes over is crazy! I love the backwall coverage tho I tried it with GSP but it is spreading really slowly haha
 
Looking good. I like the density you managed to cram in there.
