It is beautiful! Is everything still in your holding tank or is it in your main tank?
Cause it would be nice to see whole tank pictures. I really like your tank, I have not
seen to many of them around here.

Everything except for the zoanthids, which are still in the contest tank, is now in the corner tank. I have been trying to get a picture of the tank, but still haven't taken a picture of it that I like. This is my project for the weekend, to get one good picture.

Just did some testing and I found I have problems with the Calcium and Carbonate Hardness levels. I am using a one year old Hagen test kit. The Calcium level is at 300 and the Carbonate is at 80 mm/L (ppm). I do have Seachem Reef Complete for raising calcium, but if I'm understanding things correctly, this could reduce my alkalinity levels. What to do?

I am trying to keep this simple, without adding all kinds of extra equipment. Your advice would be much appreciated on this.
