You'll be stocking that tank for a while. I always find that to be the most fun thing to do. lookin' good so far :)
 
Upgraded the return pump to a dc12000 hooked up the doser and I'm currently looking for a 4th ai sol. The tank is doing OK but sps growth is minimal. I think it is my salt it was very old and was in clumps. I'm doing big water changes until I think I've gotten most of the "bad" salt out..

Come home from school to see this. It's been only 2 months and the one clown is finally hosting the rbta! Really happy about this!

Still adding stuff but for the most part done stocking. My sps aren't looking as good as they should but other pieces look great and are growing. My zoas aren't opening as good as well. My guess is phosphate is leaching from the rock that I didn't cure. I don't have a phosphate test but all my other params check out. Gonna do a big water change in the next couple days or so.
 
Tank is cruising along. I organized the spaghetti of cords and cleaned up the sump area. Not gonna add any more livestock. I ordered some marine pure spheres for the sump so hopefully my tank can remain more stable. Looking at this tank I really wish I would have gone with a 180 or 220. I love this tank but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a bigger one ?
 
Tank looks awesome. I was a noob and didn't cure my dry rock. Took about 4 months to finally stop leaching Phosphates.
