Alright folks, first one week update.

Tank is doing awesome! Diatoms are starting to do their thing and show up and feed my two crab army. I got a blue/pink spot shrimp goby and a coral beauty today from another hobbiest that is not on canreef.

This other hobbiest is Michela and she has an ad on Kijiji for her whole set up to be sold because her and the boyfriend are moving outta town. Check it out- http://reddeer.kijiji.ca/c-pets-othe...AdIdZ362939042 Complete setup with one clown, two lawnmower blennies, one pajama cardinal and a couple of dwarf crabs. Lots of LR covered in coraline algea and red mushrooms and only saw one aptasia in the whole tank. If you want to hit her up for something on the tank or a part of the tank mention that Josh sent you, the guy that bought the coral beauty and goby.

Anyways, back on track here. Tank is awesome. Me like tank. Here is pictures.
