I personally think you will be just fine with the black sand.

Thanks and its salty finally. Just have to trade the chromis and pick out one or two final fish. And then let nature takes its course

Update.

Today I got the chromis up to Edmonton and swapped them for some frags. Also picked up a pygmy cherub angel, thought I'd give one a shot. If he becomes a pest then its an easy trade. He's very pretty and very friendly with the others so far, and seems to enjoy algae and mysis so I'll see how he behaves and who knows maybe I'll be another person with a testimonial to angels in reef tanks. Maybe it'll be the opposite. LOL

2 actinic shots from tonight, they turned out pretty good, I still wish my macro setting could get a bit closer and still focus

Skimmer is now off, for a few days, as I am treating my angel for ich.. yay. i wish I had room for a QT but I dont so the whole tank is being treated.. just as well, to help avoid any further outbreaks. Nice thing about my angel so far is he is very friendly, and doesnt nip the corals, so I'm happy with him so far, just gotta get him back to normal

Wow, looking great! Your thread really does show the benefits of experiance, and proper equipment. I look forwards to following your posts.
Oh, and my sump is pretty much the exact same as yours, how are you managing with your skimmer? My water level has a hard time staying constant in the inlet chamber of the sump without a ato.

Thanks and I'm actually quite new still myself. I got a lot of help online here to build this. Atos will well keep your water level and salinity stable but for me I'm just topping off daily at the moment. I hope to get an ato eventually but for now I'm ok with topping off. I marked a spot on thr return chamber so I can top my water up to the line and keep it stable. If you don't have an ato that's your best bet for now, and still check your salinity regularly
