    Fixed! Algae is gone, tank is finally balanced. Got all my equipment sorted out and only had minor losses in terms of frags I had bought. You can clearly see the STN on the maricultured acro I got. But, it finally seems to be running reliably! (hopefully not speaking too soon!)

    Looks great Scott! Any more thoughts on the light, now that you've had it running for a bit?

    looking very, very nice grim! what did you do to take care of the algae or was it just time given it's a relatively new tank?

    I love the light. It's awesome sauce. I wouldn't go any other way. I've swapped the bulbs around a bit, hard to choose. I want to try 2 coral + bulbs still. I'm running one blue plus and one coral plus right now.

    Time is the largest factor. That and getting more clean up crew and finally getting all my equipment running. The skimmer wasn't working consistently. Took me a long time to figure out what all needed tinkering with, but now it seems great now. Also, I'm sure the bio-pellets are finally seeded and that's helping a lot with the skimmer working.

    I'm going to add sand soon. I just don't like the look of barebottom and I'm not disciplined enough to keep it clean looking.

    I think your tank will look even nicer with sand.
