10 weeks in, and tank continues to do well. Diatoms disappear, then reappear. All parameters continue to be fine.
Temp : 78 Salinity : 1.025 pH : 8.13 - 8.22 dkH : 7.0 Ca : 415 Mg : 1335 NH4 : 0 NO2 : 0 NO3 : 0 PO4 : 0 Been checking dkH, Ca and Mg every 2 days to try to figure out how much I need to dose with the Libra. Since I don't have many corals yet they seem to not be consuming it as much as I thought. May just continue dosing manually until I add more frags... which I am hoping will be soon! Split a BRS bulk order with Rich and I'm pretty impressed with how clean their additives mix up. Here's a shot with the newly mixed chems in the Vertex 1.5L dosing vessels courtesy of tang daddy.  Haven't hidden the UV's wires yet because I'm not sure if I'm going to continue to use it. Some of you may call this setup clean, but I consider it a total mess, lol! That's OCD for you! Skimmer is working good, and I am also running filter floss in the sump for larger particulates. Still need to add a countertop on the stand. Somehow this got pushed back after I started adding livestock.  Made the trip out to Oceanic today and picked up a few goodies. A Strawberry Top and 6 Trochus snails, making a b-line for the algae. The tank looks better already! Strawberry snail has lots of coralline on its shell, hoping this adds some colour to the rocks soon! Once it does I'll add an Urchin.  Also 2 Serpent stars, and a bonded pair of Orange Spot Gobies, one of which can be seen here.  Frogspawn is doing well and the Hammer is sprouting 2 new heads.  The second Goby wasted no time in making a burrow under the rockwork. Took him about 5 mins! That's his head sticking out on the right. Haven't named them yet, that's the Wife's job.  Looking for some juvenile designer clowns, locally for now. Kraken has some nice and affordable ones, but I'm not too keen on shipping yet. Thanks for looking.

Your sump is a mess!
 LOL jk, probably the neatest looking sump I've seen on the forums yet. I'd think twice about getting an urchin; useful as they are at chomping down algae, I've had one that rolled/knocked my frags all over the place, and I have seen others that had the same experience. Buyer beware.
