I agree full tank shot would be sweet to see. Growth is sweet. Everything seems to be going your way.

Some of the corals have move around, but its a pretty good comparison for 3 months.

I'm glad you enjoy the shots and can use them as a benchmark for coral growth 
One quick note on the results of the past month. I changed my Kalk once about 3 weeks ago, and didn't bother changing it again until today. I noticed the Ph dropped all the way down to 7.8 at night once the kalk was no longer effective. The Ph never rose above 8 during the day. Now with the fresh batch of kalk in the kalk stirrer (1.5 cups), the PH is back to a level of 8.1 during the day. I also had the top off doser that feeds kalk stirrer fail. I was manually adding water morning and night to replace evaporation. My coral still grew, but I can see that growth slowed.

Thank you. I get the frag tank question quite often. It is my display though. Because of the design, I can use it to test out different approaches and theories of mine (ZEO, no sand or lr, Ph, lower kelvin bulbs, feeding, etc.). I can easily place the corals without worrying about the corals falling into each other. I also get some pretty cool encrusting growth too
I use the racks since I have almost no rock in my entire system. The only reason I added the rock to my display was for my pygmy angel to hide at night. I had a small rack for montis, but removed it when I moved the montis to the sump. I'm hoping to achieve a "floating" reef look once the corals are grown out.
