That's excellent news Jim, it's a much more enjoyable hobby when things are going the right way finally :thumbsup:

So ended up going to Europe for about 35 days with the tank unattended to. Had a friend just come over every 7 days to refill the top off water. When I got back corals didn't seem happy at all, but they've recovered since then. Will try to post some updated pics. SPS are really doing well now. I think the one month vacation stunned growth a lot because my lights went back into full blast 100% on rather than the 30% they are on now. Lots bleached.

For whoever is curious on how the tank survived for 35 days unattended..

Tunze ATO with a 40g brute container to refill from - friend refilling this weekly
Auto Feeder - Fish ate a lot of flakes
APEX to monitor params
Webcam to view tank whenever I wanted

Oh, and bi-weekly emptying of skimmer cup by said friend
