    Looks like you are off to a good start--what type of rock is that--are you on the front side or back side of the brown diatom algae??

    Things are really starting to take off! Have some descent coraline growth. Performed a 20% water change tonight and my vitals are good. Best of all my fish and inverts are happy! Started work on my sump, cutting and fitting acrylic. Also found a great deal on a cannopy and mounted some L brackets from Depot to sit my T5 on. Still working on the pic quality but here are some of the progress...
