No new fish, lots of new acros though. Growth is great on some and not so great on others. I've been pretty lazy with the pictures.

Looks killer man! Great acro additions for sure. Is that the CaribSea life rock? I'm going to be setting up my 1st mixed reef soon (120 gal) and can't decide if I should go with Marco or that CS life rock..its so expensive lol

This is the Marco rock, and it's not something I would do again. By far the hardest tank I've ever set up. Completely anecdotal, but I couldn't keep any nutrients in this tank for almost half a year and I'm positive p04 was binding to the rock. I just noticed you're from okc. I have probably 50lbs of dry rock on my porch if you want it for free. It needs to be soaked, but it's a mix of old Fiji and a bit of Marco that's been in a few tanks I've had in the past.

Great progress!!

Amazing growth. Are adding aminos or trace elements?

I had the same issue with Marco rock too. Also, for some reason coralline algae doesn't want to grow on it.
