Since you have the tank next to the window, have you considered removing the blue background?

Calfo says that natural light is the best for coral growth.

I always thought the sunlight promotes more algea growth, besides the background is painted on.
The reason I put it there is to make water changes alot easier, just open the window and siphon.

That rock looks pretty decent. I don't know that I've seen rock from Haiti before, but at a little over $3 per pound shipped, that's a good deal.
What size sump do you have? I'm using a 15g aquarium under my 40g and it seems to be working out OK.
With the flow you'll have and the fact that you're going BB, I assume this will be an SPS tank, yes?

Man, I have been wondering what happened to you.
I have been watching for some more of your frag packs, and you just haven't been around. Now I know why.
Sorry to hear about your tank, but I am glad to see you getting your feet wet again.
Please let me know when you have frags available again, you always had awesome stuff.
Glad to see you back, and sorry for being an "outsider" posting in you guy's local forum.
