New tank

So after my tank crash about 8 mos ago, the first significant loss in nearly 22yrs, I started again. I took a little break but the reef kept calling. Not wanting to stomach a large build again, I opted for a 60gal cube. This where I am at now. Some really nice new sps pieces went in over the last two weeks. Hope you like. Will now work on finishing cabinetry and some reorganizing of equipment. More pics to come.
Cheers
Hmm can't seem to upload pics from my phone. Anyone know how?

Looking forward to some pics!
 
I hope these work. Still have a ways to go. But feel the start is pretty good. Some of the colonies I lost will never be replaced. But have some great new ones.

Not sure on the boulder type lps under ledge.
These are off the top of my head. Sure there are a couple more. Will take some better pics tonight when I get home.
 
Good start keep working on it. Looks like you have some HA you are dealing with? Equipment pics and specs?
 
YEah I didn't worry too much about hair algea on the glass at the back and sides. Just left it. Slowly going away. NOt really a problem as it stays put and the clean up crew keeps it off the rockwork. Tank is only 3mos old. RO unit konked out on my a couple of weeks ago, so not the best water going in.

Specs:

Cal 420
Alk 9.5
Nitrates <5
Phos? Test kit is old.

Lighting:
ATI powermodule 10lamp24"
Skimmer:
Octopus recirc 200 (or is it 150, I cna never remember, big f'ing thing)
Drip kalk
Add 2 part.
Reactors with carbon and another with GFO.

About it. Going to be going with a doser and fauna marin products. Use some of the Aminos already from last tank.

Will update cabinetry and equipment as I get newer stuff.
cheers
