The tank is a 60 gallon cube (2x2x2) with a 20 gallon sump. The tank has been up and running for 6 months, but all the live rock in the tank came from two other tanks I had - one had been running for around 18 months (about 35 lbs. of rock) and the other was a nano tank with just a couple of pounds (if that). So the tank is running with maybe 35 pounds of rock right now. No fish in the tank (it's a long story), some sps and lps, two nasso snails, and that's it.
All the tank parameters are good - so zero ammonia, nitrite and nitrates. I'm working on bringing my alk up (it's around 7.5 right now) and my mag up too (it's in the mid 1200s). Calciums around 400.
