Ok everyone. Spent a good amout of time getting some frags in the tank. Here are the best pics I could get sans a dslr.
FTS
Right side
Left Side
On a side note, I pretty much have flow dialed in. I figured out my Tunze pump was adjusted on very low flow. Duh! I cranked that thing up and wow! Big difference. I figure it is running at about 600-700gph. With the flow accelerator connected to it, it seems like more. I'm also running the Korallia evolution 1400 full time. The only thing i'm running on the wavemaker is the Korallia 1 pointed towards the surface. I got annoyed with the startup noise on the evolution, so this wavemaker is minimally usefull for me. The tank has plenty of flow and there is only one corner that sand seems to constantly migrate away from.
Next thing on list. Fish! I moved my serial killer clown in the tank and my cleaner shrimp. I'm leaving my six line in the nano until I get the mellow fish in this one.

I will need one of every zoa polyp you have 
hahahaha
I agree with Donna! Nice looking stock you have there Marius.
Did the "pop" noise at the start of the evos when used on a wavemaker finalize you decision to take it off line? I know its a low noise when I had my evos on a wavemaker, just enough to bug me. But it wasnt too bad.

@Sean- I have my tank in my living room so the whole thing is on carpet. It's the only spot in my house that the tank would fit.
@Donna- Thanks for the comments do you have a link to your tank? I want to check out your 90.
@Ryan- Apparantly my tank is very quiet with the two drains installed. There is a little running water sound similar to an hob filter. The tunze main pump and skimmer are very quiet. The fans on the led fixture are probably the loudest thing on my tank. The click on and off from the evo was the louder than anything else. I have problems but it kept bugging me so I just run it full time and it's all good. I just wanted to throw that info out there because the evo review on marine depot vary about the sound.

Yea I can understand the clicking being annoying. Sounds kind of like a Pistol Shrimp. I wish my tank was a little more quieter. I think with my overflow and vortech I have a pretty decent humm and trickle sound 24/7. Not bad though, wouldn't want to sleep in the same room with the tank.

Just a quick update. The gha is soOooO dead! Very little left at all compared to a lot 2 weeks ago. Thank you CUC and Phos Ban. Starting the hunt for fish now...

Alright been meaning to post. Finally got some fish into this tank. A few weeks ago I got a baby size watchman goby and a purple firefish from Exotic. I thought the goby died but a week later he finally came out of hiding to my surprise! Both are eating and doing well.
Last week I bought 5 Dispar Anthias from Aqua Life. I thought I got 1 male and 4 females. Turns out upon further review that I have 1 big male, 1 little one and 3 females. One out of the group went mia and is assumed dead. The rest were hiding at first but came out after a few days. The guy at Aqua Life gave me a free replacement. It joined the group and they are all eating and look great. I've been feeding them 3 times a day a mixture of frozen mysis, plankton, and brine.
Did I mention I put an egg crate top on the tank to prevent carpet surfing?
I also scored a nice ric from Colin. Found a nice one a exotic and a nice yuma at Your Reef.
Also whoever put the Lunar Eclipse colony in the gift exchange at the Christmas party, thank you.
Tank seems to be going well. Diamond Jack out...

Almost forgot fts.

Thanks! The egg crate didn't really reduce the light (probably slightly reduced it). I think it helped spread the light out a little better somehow. It works great as a cover though. Easy to cut to size, light weight, and cheap.

Thanks Jeff. You were right about them recognizing I mean food after a while. They are almost always out now and are eating great.

Awesome! I've never gotten any carpet surfers in my planted tank experience, so my tanks never ever needed a cover. I was debating on whether to keep my tank covered or open top, for my salty.
