Update, nothing too exciting here lately. Been dosing B-Ionic for alkalinity and calcium and Seachems Reef Advantage magnesium. Im running ROX carbon and BRS's GFO and am very happy with my water parameters. Starting to grow magenta and lavender color coralline algae. Also I've been feeding the corals BRS Reef Chili for a nutrient supplement. I've been adding frags and they're starting to color up to my parameters and are basing out nicely. So far so happy with the out come. I haven't focused on my fish load too much here lately but will add them when the time comes. Have yet to do a water change..Ha! Purchased salt today maybe I'll do one this weekend.

Off to a great start! Really looks good now and will look even more awesome as it starts to mature.

Thanks Fin!! Yes, Corals photo adjusting to my lights and basing out. Im happy. While they're doing their thing Im contemplating on a small school of blue green chromis.

I just ordered a school of 9 chromis as well as 13 other fish. They'll be arriving on Tuesday. I think a school would be nice to see in your tank

Cheers, Todd

Not much action. Gearing up for our newborn coming next month! Reef is full of frags but buying any more coral for now is at a little stand still until little man gets here

Decided to bump up my halides to 400's I'll get some picks this Sunday.

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me " you better get your sleep now because....." Im sure it's going to be a crash course no matter how prepared I am. Looking forward to it though!!
