Awesome system. I'll be following along for updates.

Seems like those blocks work very well for you in place of live rock. How many blocks are you running in total? What's your fish list look like?

Thank you,
I've been using the marine pure for couple of years on a few diff systems absolutely love the stuff.
In the sump I have (4) big bricks 2/3 plates and a couple gallons of the spheres.

For fish nothing really fancy just a ton of the common tangs, wrasses, rabbit fish, clowns here and there for the nems. Would have to look in count but think total number somewhere around 50 fish.
