Looking good. Try using carbon in your sump. I personally have found out that this seems to accelerate coralline growth with regular water changes.

Thanks Jim
I plan on starting to stock in mid Febuary. I want to give the base rock alittle more time to turn live so I will have abit more stable environment.

I like how you built the compartment in the sump to utilize the remora and the heater. Nice work.

No SCWD on this tank. I'm not sure what you mean by "interaction"?

I have all of the "direct" flows hitting the glass, so it bounces off and I have ALOT of random flow.

Just to let you all know, I am going to be adding a RBTA to the Left side of the tank. I am going to allow the RBTA to have half of the tank, and heavily stock the other side with SPS.
I'm going to get the RBTA first, and will probly be my first major purchase for this tank other than the start up. I'll be buying it in late Febuary.

Here are some pics of the green coraline groth. IME, Green Coraline is the base for the Pinks and Purples In this picture, you can see the Green coraline growing underneith the rock. The reason for this is because the light is reflecting off of the Star Board and allowing it to grow lol. Here's the FTS One more month and it will be time to start the stocking
