Before I added salt (and knowing reef crystals is low for Mg) I just grabbed my container of MG and dumped it all in! Was maybe 3/4 of a gallon? I knew I'd need at least that much. Anyways did my tests tonight:

Ca - 450 (Can't help it RC is high for Ca)
Alk - 9
Mg - 1400 (on the nose!)

So I thought why not toss a frag in. It's showtime!

Ok maybe I am on drugs it's not grey at all. On my screen this is exactly what she looks like (I slapped some rails together so I could rotate the fixture and power on BOTH crappy old phoenix bulbs). I'm doubtful I'll put anything behind the tank I really like it. I will need to tidy my cables of course to run along my bracing...

I like it without a background.

Well there ya have it. Now I literally can't use a background. Thanks for making that easy bro =)

On another note I really wish photos gave a better sense of scale. The large pile/pillar is massive/menacing but you don't get that vibe staring at the pic.

I tried my best on the current tank but without magnet access it's so tough. I'm certainly dedicated enough to do it... I wasn't dedicated enough to kent-scrape it to the same level tho. My tank right now is solid coraline!
