alot of stuff (besides the small order of macro rocks) came from an established tank. Got seed rock from an established tank and another 5lbs or so live sand from an established tank. Tested water parameters, saw a spike (after I threw in a scallop) and watched the levels return to normal.
Also using Seachem Stability...which I know some people say is snake oil, but it's worked for me in the past.... So far everything is looking good...fish are actively swimming, CUC is actively cruising the tank...

Got the Geissman Powerchrome Actinic bulb....um, awesome. It doesn't make too much of a difference in overal color of the tank itself, but when you look at the inhabitants....waaaapow! The reds on the peppermint shrimp and the coral banded are epic!

I switched the Vortech settings...again. ha ha...Nutrient Transport mode set at about 80% is making a nice little wave along with a "calm" time etc....from where I sit in my station when I look over at the tank when it's surging I can see the water line drop about 1/2" below the trim....
Added a pair of False Percs....who, even though I said there would be no naming of fish...have been dubbed "Nemo and Nemette"  By Roxy, who is Butch's 2 year old daughter.Slight diatom outbreak on the sandbed, but the clean up crew seem to be taking care of it pretty damn well. The LFS I've been wanting to go to for a while is having a sale this weekend...uh oh.
