What have you done with your tank lately?

I purchased some frags from Nexann (Which look very nice) and got them in the tank. I am trying out my new corner frag mount that I printed also.

Harvested a five gallon bucket of Cheato, removed all of the live rock from my sump and caught my Royal Gramma and Orange Dottyback who weeks ago went over the overflow. Silly fish!

What did you do with the cheato? I'm plumbing a 10g fuge into my system this weekend and was going to see if I could bum some from someone.
 
Other than continuing to dose 20ml of vodka a day to curb my nitrates (with no avail so far) I wrapped my calcium reactor with a reflective tint because it was getting some algae growth in it from my ATS lights shining on it 20 hours a day. I dont know if the algae in it would cause a problem but it looked ugly. Also picked up a few hundred pounds of sand from Aquaman07 (Thanks Jason) that I need to rinse and put in the tank at some point.

That looks nice Dave. Can you remove it to see in? I made something like it with acrylic and Velcro but it's a bit of a pain to remove if I want to see in because of the tight space I have.

Yea Its just taped on at each corner so real easy to remove and put back on.
 
Man I'm glad I vacuumed my sand before I placed my power heads in. Got almost 5 gals of dust and sugar size out! Water is clearing up nicely. Now to get the cycle over.
 
Sand. Its amazing how much it actually brightens a tank when your used to a bare bottom. This was one 5 gallon bucket full. I think one more and that will be plenty which means Im going to have a bunch left over it anyone needs some.
