    Looks great,and allthough i agree on going slow,if your down that low on nitrates,if theres no am or trites,you could add a few easy softies(mushrooms,zoas,etc.) without issues,alot of them actually feed on organics in the water as well as lighting,but yes wait several months to let tank mature and stabalize with great params b4 trying sps or other difficult corals.Love the rockwork!

    Also Monday my new salt mix and new bulb should be here. Went with red sea salt pro since I've been using regular red sea salt.

    Had some algea problem so I decided to change out bulbs. Bulbs where about a year or so time for new ones. Also order some new salt mix and did a water change with some of the last salt mix I had. Ups showed up today but on with the pictures!!!!! Btw tanks looks a let better turn lights from 8hr to 5hr but with the new bulbs back to 7hr.
