skippy2,
Thanks. Yes, I scrape the back glass but leave the coraline on the overflows. I use a combination of snails but I think the Nassarius snails do the best on the sand. I have Margarita's, Trochus,Cerith, and Nerite's also.
The light is a 72" Maristar running 3- 250w 14K Phoenix DE bulbs with
4 39w T5 atinics.

Looks wonderful. Like stated above it looks very clean. How many fish do you have in there? I can see 3.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I am kind of of proud of the tank so far.I know it is still very young though.
Fish & inverts:
black oscellaris
false perc
copperband butterfly
dejardini tang
one spot foxface
2 small RBTA's
red serpent star
black spiny brittle star
assorted snails
125lbs of Kaleni live rock
30 gallon sump
ASM G4 skimmer
2 tunzes and 7095 controller
Instant Ocean salt
RO/DI water only / Major reason it stays so clean. I just started running carbon within the last week or so and I think that polished up the water clarity also. I do have a recent problem with flatworms but I plan on dealing with that this week.
40 gallon water changes every 3 weeks
I dose 3oml 2 part bi ionic daily
2 capfuls of Phyto DT's every other day
I feed mostly PE Mysis
Anemones get small pieces of silversides or scallops twice a week
I have a pretty diverse mix of corals including SPS, LPS, Zoos and Shrooms. I do not see a lot of rapid growth of corals just mostly steady. That could be because of the lights I am not sure. But most everything does appear to be growing and doing well.
Again, Thanks for the comments and all the help I have received on this board.

VINH_XUAN,
Thanks,
As far as the coraline timeline I'm not too sure but I do know the live rock colored up nicely after the first couple of months.
I purchased the rock from Premium Aquatics. It sure is nice to have them local. I work only a few blocks from them. Great service and super nice people.
The coraline on the back is mostly on the overflows. I always thought about scraping it off there also but haven't so far.
