Alright, LARGE Update... I havent posted any pics since the last part of April. Since then, the tank completed its cycle, I have also modified my ato setup a few times. It now uses a hydor smart level, controlling a windshield washer pump from the local parts store mounted in an 8 gallon food storage container in the closet.
I have added a few corals and fish, about 25-30 assorted snails including margarita and turbo, roughly 60 hermit crabs (blue and red legged), and an emerald crab, chaeto to the refugium, and about 80lbs of more live rock. I also have started dosing calcium, magnesium, and alk on a daily basis, which the zoas and gsp absolutely love.
I gave up on building a canopy, really have not had time to mess with it, so I built a light stand to keep the top of the tank open (kinda wish i went with a frameless tank now). I also re-arranged the rocks again to bring them back off the back wall so the fish can swim through
Sorry for the long post.
Fish now include:
One spot foxface, Black Oscellaris, Orange Oscellaris, Yellow tang, Coral tang
Corals include:
Green zoas, several rocks with xenia, and green star polyps.
More corals will be added at the beginning of August

It has been running strong for nearly 4 months. the washer pump has given me zero troubles. When/if this pump fails, I will look into another solution, but it was cheap, readily available, and extremely reliable in theory. Think about how many washer pumps survive 20+ years on a car in the elements.
