Hey guys,

My name is Ryan and I have had this tank running for 15 months.
It's a very basic setup.
Deep Blue 57g rimless
Wet/dry sump with bio balls. I know, I know, but they are working well for me and if it ain't broke don't fix it right??
Sca-301 skimmer
2 bulb t-5 and a reef brite led
Rio2100
2x jaebo wp25
Sg 1.025, ph 8.0, Ca 460, Mg 1560, Kh 12.6, nitrite and nitrate 0, ammonia 0, temp 75
I do a 10g water change weekly and feed every other day with mysis. I do not dose anything, which is probably explains my lack of zoa growth.
I just moved 2 weeks ago and the tank is getting happy again, which is also why there is base rock added. Looking for any helpful insights or criticism. Thanks for looking, now on to the phone pics:

I started with instant ocean, then tried kent. Now I just to my lfs. I honestly dont like doing that, but since I'm in FL, its so easy to just run down the street and grab a few gallons.
 
Anybody else have a good recommendation on salt that is easy to acquire? Other than instant ocean, of course.
 
I have seen it in one of lfs, ill try that. I know it tends to be high on Mg and Ca, which I am currently having an issue with imo
 
Thank you! I just left my LFS and got a good deal on a few polyps. I'll post a pic when they open up. I scored an armor of God, King Midas, Bam Bam, and a people eater.
 
Few new zoas. again, sorry for the phone pics..
