Yeah there is a lot of room for a lot more stuff and I like that. My plan now is to let the tank settle in for a while with all the new coral Ive gotten lately and get the parameters right for the sps to grow. I have a kalk kit coming from brs that should be here this week with new t5 bulbs as well.

Few pics showing some growth. This piece here has been taking off the past month or so and the 2 sticks growing off the sides are new. Heres a pic when I got it and how it is today.

This here has gotten a bit bigger but a lot of growth at the base of it.

You can also see my red hornets in that pic. Cant see the whole thing but they wrap all the way around the plug now. Heres when I got them.

Looks like things are going very well for your tank. Great job.

Going to type up a little update and will post new pics shortly. I had a really bad bubble algae outbreak in my tank and it covered all of my live rock and sand bed. There was no way to scrape and suction the stuff out so I pretty much had to take all the rock out and clean/soak them. I don't know what caused it because I use rodi water, always check my output to make sure its at 0.00. I check for phosphates and they are low and all my other tests were in check. Anyway its been about a 3 week process to make sure I was bubble algae free. The other night I finished up by taking out a few coral at a time and checking them and scraping what I found off of them. Its getting back to where my tank should look like.

I still want to rescape my rocks a bit since they aren't all in the same place. But it feels good to have a nice clean tank again and hope that never happens again. Like I said in the beginning of the post Ill get some pics up in a day or 2 when everything is back in place.

Good that you attacked it head on. Looking forward to the pics

I just finalized the scape and placed coral on the rocks and will be attaching soon. Ill snap some pics in the morning.

Nice progression Matt. Beautiful.

Heres some pics I snapped quick with my phone this morning. I have a new glass scraper on the way my old one broke so don't mind the coralline algae in some of the pics.

Just read through your build. Great set up. The reef savvy tanks are gorgeous and yours is no different.
