Thanks Jlugo,

I use B-ionic two part on BRS dosing pumps and i dose kent magnesium once a week.

Got the tank full off of GFO as all algae was non existant and colors were starting to pale a little. so i took all gfo offline and my colors are already getting deeper just in a weeks time. Pictures will follow later today.

The GSP wall reminds me of Get Him to the Greek

I have since picked up a small school of chromis. There are 6 of them and they are an older group so I believe a pecking order is already established so none of them pick on each other but we shall see I can keep the group

great looking tank! your use of space is well thought out
