Lookin good! I would suggest you remove the Rena filter though, or at least remove the media from it, and just put live rock in it. It will catch detritus, and cause a nutrient problem for you.

Ya, that's the idea. Unless you want to clean the filter 2x weekly it will cause you a lot of grief in the long run. Canister filters are designed with the freshwater nitrogen cycle in mind, not saltwater.

Death has landed in the tank! went to work everything looked fine, come home about 6 hours later and my urchin is in the gravel, no spines left and upside down, about 10 min later (after I got cleaned up from work) theres 4 big bristleworms on him and within another 2 hes hollow...
I checked the water and everything is fine... Ammonia-0ppm Nirites-0ppm Nirates-less than 5ppm PH-8.0-8.2 SG 1.025 Temp 80 I dont know what I did wrong  he was eating like crazy cleaning off a rock I had, half of the rock was clean then all of a sudden he dropped dead...I did a drip when I first got him, made it last about an hour and changed half the water once the volumed doubled etc. Rather sad thats now 2 inverts I have lost. A peppermint shrimp and a Blue Tuxedo urchin
