I have added the last two 6105s. On Saturday, two days ago my Ammonia tested 1.0, Nitrites 0.0 and Nitrates 0.0. I decided to add two bottles of Bio-Spira from Instant Ocean. I followed the instructions and turned off the skimmer. I also to the down time to give it a good cleaning. The bottles I added said they were good for up to 75g but I was hoping that I have some good bacteria left on the rock I purchased. Some aptasia have survived! On Sunday the Ammonia was 0.5, Nitrites from 0.0 to 0.5 and Nitrates 5.0. Today the Ammonia is 0.0 Nitrites 0.0 and nitrates 10. Yesterday I also dropped a frag of SPS in the tank and when I got home today it has good polyp extension. The frog spawn looks good also.
Here are some crappy iPhone photos and a video of the wave I am able to generate. The wave just does not turn me on like it does in a smaller tank.

The nano is on the kitchen counter and my wife wants me to empty and move it...... Ok that is a lie she doesn't care. Um I burned out the white LEDs on the nano and the inhabitants are going to die..... Well Ok that is a lie... I did burn out the white LEDs but the inhabitants are doing fine with RB and UV LEDs. Um....Well..... Here it is, the real truth! Like most Americans I have no patients and want instant success! Ok there I said it! Are you happy now! LOL

I prefer a minimalist look. I don't like tanks that are filled with rock then when the animals grow in look over crowded. The large open area will get a large sqamosa. It was purchased by me in april 2007, a couple years later to tore my tank down and sold it to my friend. It has now out grown his 70g tank and I will be getting it back. I plan on the big open space being a clam/rick/zoa/blasto field. I like for the fish to have room to swim also.
I am sure the tang PoPo will have a field day with thisbit, I had my LFS order three of the smallest yellow tangs I could get.

Oh I will be adding more tangs!
Got the squamosa in the tank today. I put him where I want him but I bet in a day or so he will have moved all over the tank. Also added a green/blue open brain (Trachyphyllia geoffroyi) which I think will color up under better conditions. Here are a few updated shots.

Tropic Marin dissolves very clear, once you get the pumps going you wont notice the extra material in the mixed salt water, IME the Red Sea Coral Pro was the worst when it comes to residue

Love the powder blue. Nice dark colors and looks fat. You diffidently need to get a Vlamingii tang. They get big, but are the nicest fish around. They do not hurt any corals. They are not aggressive to wards other fish. They also are very friendly and will eat out of your hand. You can even pet them once they get to know you. They're the type of fish you can give a name to. Like a pet dog, but only a fish.
