Thanks guys! You're too kind. Honestly, I see this tank every day (every day!!) and I don't think it's as nice as these pictures portray. It's an odd effect for sure.

@Levi - Thanks man. In hindsight I am thinking that most of my SPS issues were PO4 related. I think just because a test kit says it's low enough doesn't mean it really is low enough. Things still aren't 100% these days, I lose frags or have recession here or there but I really notice it if I let the GFO slide for too long. If I replace it weekly, things just look, behave, and grow better. If I let it go to two weeks it's hard to say how exactly but it just becomes noticeable and there's an almost instant bounce back as soon as new GFO gets put on. 1 cup per week seems to be the magic amount.

Hmmmm, no, I don't think so ... Although I guess it is something like 16 though. I buy whatever fits in a 1 gallon container and this seems to be about 7-8 lbs and I have to replace it .. hmmmm I need to take better notes, but I think it's twice a year. Man, now you have me thinking. It definitely hurts the wallet when I need to get more.

Looks good. Thankfully the cement will be able to hold all that weight!

I wouldn't be able to afford changing mine every week

The HC GFO I just used up came from Chin_Lee's group buy
3lbs gave me 6 cups, so 6 4week uses
In the future I plan on using the BRS calculator's recommended 0.86 cups for my 110g system, so hopefully 10 cups/5lbs will get me a year's use
