How's the tank working out for you? I saw you post and decided to get one the first one I got was a 48x48x16 which I pick up on March 22nd 2009 and I'll be picking up my new 24x24x10 sometime in April.
This is my older brother (left) and the glass cages guy (right)  This is the stand I built for the tank.  I really liked your coral tank so I wanted to see how it was working out for you. Do you have any current pics? Thanks Jake

gillsandfins,
Thanks, the tank is doing fine i recently added a new protein skimmer  The remora skimmer i had before just wasn't cutting it, the MSX 160 has been great and @ a great price. I do have some more recent pics then what's there but nothing new, i've had some problems with flat worms and because of my old remora skimmer not removing what it should, some bio film problems. All and all he tank is coming back now, most of the coral browned out or had some STN, but things are turning around. here are some new but not so new pics i had kicking around.

Glad to here your tank is doing well. It's never fun to have to deal with the unexpected problems. My brother-in-law has a flatworm problem right now. I recommended a sixline wrasse they should take care of it pretty fast. I see you added some substrate since the last pics. Looking good!!

thanks Gillsandfins,
I used flatworm ex and boy o boy did it work, i saw two or three little ones that survived the first dosing so i dosed again; i didn't think of the impact of not doing a water change even though there was like 3 left, i thought because theres only 3 i can't get high toxin die off levels from just 3 worms. well the next day or two i had a little STN happening, so after i did 5 jumping jacks pulling my hair out i made up 2- 4gal buckets of H2ocean water; seems to have stopped, so far all is good. The pram's read like this; Cal 390-400ppm Mag 1350-1430ppm Alk 7-8dkh K+ 390-400ppm Temp 79.8F Salinity 1.025
