Just a little update... still dont have a camera though 
The tank is dong very well! It is incredible what stability does for an sps tank, like wow. Ever since I put in my dosing system I have had much better growth. Alk is consistently at 8.4 and calc at 450. Everything else is where it should be. My red planet has already encrusted onto the rock and everything is growing well it seems. I'm excited to see them in a few months. Since I installed the dosers and the MP10 almost about the same time, I don't know how much the MP10 did for the tank but It definitely helps! Also, colors have been great. I am sitting at 60 w 70 b 70 rb at the moment for 5 hr and 45 min. I am going to keep ramping slowly, I think I will get more growth that way and colors. But I hope to get pictures to you guys very soon.

Good man! I'm happy things are doing better then they were a little bit ago! I'm looking forward those pictures, you have a very nice tank. I may have to invest in a doser soon, it sounds like your having a positive response which is awesome! I almost pulled the trigger on a vortech but I gotta save up for the prop auction I plan on attending on the 19th! Keep up the good work man, things seem to have turned around for you

Thanks. Highly suggest the dosers. The accuracy with dosing it has it well worth it. Things are so stable and replenished. I look forward to getting you pictures!
Thank you very much! I wish I coyld fast forward a year of growth to see it lol. Glad you look at the site. I love the corals I've bought!

Forgot to ask, how you do go about mounting your corals? Do you take the plugs off or somehow get the bottom part off and leave the disk? I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to just get the disk

Thanks man! I'm pumped with the growth! But I pray that they aren't fully encrusted but I'm not mad if they are cause that's a god sign. If they aren't encrusted I break them off the plug, if they are I break off the bottom part of the plug or saw it off if it is a weird plug that's thicker. Then I glue it on.

Well I was gone all weekend and had the roommates feed the tank. They always do a good job. One night I got a text (they were having a party) and my buddy said "the fish are still kicking it but someone threw up into your fish tank." This was at about 350am. I never saw it and about an hour later I got another text saying "just kidding." Thankfully when I checked my phone I saw both, otherwise I would have been freaking out big time. A few days later I get home and go I to my room and see the water is really cloudy, well I look in the sump and my filter sponge was so backed up it wasn't letting water through and there was barely any water on the third chamber. I got it all back not but that was a close disaster lol. Fun weekend for me!

lol I will admit is was a really good joke because they all know how I am about my tank... Pretty much how everyone is about theirs, very protective.

Yeah no joke, I've been thinking about putting in a mesh top to get some more fish that have a caution with that.
