Only for now... wait till all of the corals start filling everything in!
I am really loving the rocks Steve! I can't wait to see some SPS growing out of them. Yes, SPS! Now that the Phosphate issue is taken care of...

Sorry Dustin I will try for a new FTS tonight. Since Dan doesn't want to hear about anything other than SPS going into my tank I will be trading some equipment and supplies that I'm not using for SPS frags this week 
. Everything will go in the frag tank while the rocks in the DT settle in and I'm sure everything in the tank is stable. Going hypo wiped out just about all of cuc so I will be ordering a replacement crew today.

Steve - You are really going to love how things grow in when you are ready for sps! You are making me think I need move a few things around for my new frags.Thanks David.
Here's a full tank shot. Algae blooms are kicking in so time for a new cuc.
The "cleaner" looking rocks are the pieces I just put in the dt from my rock tank.

Steve - I think with the issues you were having it was for the best.

I've ordered from reefcleaners.org and reeftopia.com in the past and have been very happy with both.

CLEAN UP CREW
The new CUC arrives today from ReefCleaners.org. I forgot to check off waive signature so I hope my wife is home when the package arrives.
FRAG RACKS
I was bored and since I have a bunch of extra acrylic laying around for a project that I decided not to do about 2 yrs ago, I decided to make a couple of frag racks. I guess I will be doing sps after all.
Ca REACTOR MODIFICATION
I had been struggling with my reactor to get it dialed in for the longest time. One of the biggest challenges for me was that the MTC Pro-Cal Reactor doesnt have a ph probe holder for the main chamber. I looked up on line how to modify the lid myself but was nervous about cracking the lid, I reached to out Avast to see if they would do it for me and they would, but then I saw this inline probe holder made by MRC. So I decided I will give it a try and see if it works.
NEW ADDITION/RE INTRODUCTION
I picked up a couple of small adult Atlantic Blue Tangs a few weeks ago and they had been in my Qt. Unfotunately one of them didnt make it more than 24 hrs in the Qt but this guy did and I moved him into the Dt a couple of days ago. He's so small compared to my other tangs but hangs in there with them and gets his share of the food.
If you remember this zoa was nearly destroyed by the rabbit fish I used to have. When I got this it was just 3 polyps about 2.5 yrs ago and even I nor the rabbit fish could kill it.
Im definitely getting the itch to pick up some sps and I am supposed to get some this week thru trading old equipment for frags. Nothing will go in the dt until the ca reactor is dialed in and the ca/alk/mg levels are stable. So for now any new purchases/aquisitions will go right into the frag system.

Yeah he has always been good in the past. I like his quick crews that he has listed...makes it so much easier.

Great additions/update Steve. John is a great guy and has great customer service. I'm hoping for some trochus snails when I stock the big tank as that's my favorite member of CUC!
