pics from my 57 rimless

[cmcneil]

hey all,im new to R2R and wante to share my new tank with you all.i set this tank up about 4 months ago when i moved,it is an oceanic 57 rimless.i used to run MH lighting but wanted to go a different route so i went with an ATI sunpower 6x39w.i have a simple 30 gallon sump under the tank with a small carbon reactor and filter sock.i use a second generation I-tech 100 skimmer and an I-tech calcium reactor.the return pump is a tunze and main tank flow comes from two MP-10's.that about it for filtration and flow.so here are some pics of my corals.

the first two pics show one months growth on my aquadelight.

and a macro of it

Nice color, and VERY GOOD growth for 1 month. Any FTS?

What is your level of N and P?

I also run i-Tech 200 on Tunze pump, in fact that is only my purchase of 'smaller name' but so far one of my best equipment pick.

my nitrates are around 15ppm and PO4 is .03 on the mini hanna.I find if my tank is too clean my colors fade and growth slows,i feed heavy as well.here is an older FTS.
