Minor update...
PO4 has dropped to .06 prior to another water change. One more water change should bring the PO4 down to undetectable or at least close to that...

Purchased a rabbit fish to work on the red turf (hope it likes red turf) and any other undesired algae. This rabbit fish has been at Blue World for a few months and eating well. I did not quarantine this fish as I would normally would as I would and based on its reputation being a very hardy fish ( and that I wanted it to work on the algae) I have taken the chance on it.
The rabbit fish seems to be doing very well and has already been picking on the algae off the rocks. It seems that the sailfin tang does not like the rabbit fish and finds it intrusive to its feeding grounds... And I have noticed that the other tangs are also more attentive to feeding on the algae as well. From my observation this morning, he is not taken any interest on any corals but I will continue observing it for the time being.

Have also picked up five more sps frags... Trying to find or make room... (LOL)
I have also picked up two photosynthetic ( purplish) gorgonians ... I have really taken a liking on gorgonians so I hope they will be happy in the tank.

Hope to add some picks of the rabbit fish and gorgonians later tonight.
