    Just an updated picture of the tank. Haven't added much in the way of livestock/coral but my mushrooms have really colored up nicely and my Kenya Tree are growing pretty fast! Already starting to get small spots of coraline on the reefcleaners rock!

    Looks fantastic! I just ordered 3 lights for my future 40b upgrade.

    Oh and is that a bottle in there? I like it, I have my rum collection in a wine rack next to my 29g LOL.

    Quick update. I ordered an Apex Jr. Controller and it should be here next week! I'm going to use it for water top offs, lights and heater. I'm sure down the road I'll find a whole series of other uses but right now that's about it! Very excited to install it and get it working!

    I stopped using the right side Koralia as I noticed the mushrooms weren't opening nearly as much due to the increased flow.

    My Kenya Trees have been dropping branches like crazy as well! Something they never did in my old 29 gallon. The Hammer seems to be doing great also.

    Here is a quick picture taken with my phone.

    Some updated pictures taken with my phone. The color is way off... Here is a quick run down of the tank. I've made a few changes.

    30 breeder display/20 sump.
    3 BoostLED PAR 30 lighting
    SWC BMK150 skimmer
    Apex JR
    BRS Reactor with GFO powered by a Maxijet 1200
    Ehiem Jager Heater
    50-60lbs live rock (that's a guestimate)
    1 Koralia 1
    1 Koralia Evo 750 for a high flow area in the sump with live rock
    Mag 7 return pump

    1 False Perc Clown
    1 Green Chromis
    Assorted Clean Up Crew from Reefcleaners

    Kenya Tree
    1 Yellow Ricordea
    Blue Mushrooms
    Red Mushrooms
    1 Neon Green Mushroom
    1 Toadstool
    1 Branching Hammer (6 heads)
    1 Branching Frogspawn (4 heads)

    Battling Cyano at the moment... I hate this crap!

    Enjoy...
