Sea Apples scare me, you are bold!
What about adding more frags, any ideas as to what you might like? More LPS? or are you going to try SPS under the T5's?
Or you can do what my brother did. Get an AC/DC changer and hook it up to your can and run a long line to your tank.
The Red Sea Max 130D is a popular design. Its ~34 gallons, all-in-one, and the deluxe has some nice upgrades (new skimmer). There is also the Solana...
Metal Halides will put you into the world of chillers as well. It depends on what corals you want. If you only want LPS (large polyp stony) then you...
I enjoy wider tanks as well. 30" is too tall in my opinion.
Its a very nice tank, cant wait to see it really fill out in the future. Looks like you are letting it take its time, I like it.

Looks like it might be a mud crab (Panopeus herbstii possibly) they eat hermit crabs a lot and other crustaceans.
Macros are a great addition to any tank, I am surprized they are not more popular in reef keeping.
Looks like Red Grape Kelp, Botryocladia sp. Needs moderate to high light and good water quality. It will be eaten by herbevor fish, they LOVE it. I...
It's a very interesting idea, I am just concnered about flow rates. It is going to be VERY difficult to match your flow rates. They have to be...
I use bioballs but that is only because I have a temperate tank and the rock I have is not very porous, so I put the bioballs in to add some surface...
Well some of the macros are doing well, some are not. I have changed it up a bit as you can see in the pictures. The Codium did terribly and I had a...
