This is great...I am doing a tank upgrade in a few weeks.....complete with fish room...following along.

Well not to much to update. Things are coming along fantastic. Im really starting to appreciate nuking the rock to begin with. Im still dealing with a little bit of green hair algae, but it seems to be going away more and more every day. Coraline is starting to cover all the new rocks, so its starting to look better.

Dead rock starting to look better:

I also started a vinegar dosing regimen. Im up to 30mL/day at this time. Seems to be working great. Also running GFO and carbon in reactors.

Sump closet:

Lots and lots of Scypha ciliata (aka pinapple sponges), spirorbid worms and feather dusters are covering the walls of the sump, and little critters are everywhere! So looks like thinhs are nice and healthy so far.

This is one of the biggest scypha ciliata I have seen yet...about 1.5 cm long. You can see all the other small ones around it.

Got some GSP frags from Denny, some green palys from my nano and a beautiful RBTA from Sheena. My first coral additions are doing fantastic.
