Awesome tank, and that's a pretty good job on the sump. Is that purple up working for you?

Thanks for the Ids!
Snakebyt: It's a 4 lamp fixture. 24w T5HO x 4. I'm wondering if 96 watts are enough to support SPS with me having to worry about placement in the tank.

So I did a water change two days ago and tested the water using the API liquid test kit yesterday @ around 7pm. Calcium @420-440 mg/L, and dKH is 12. I love the corraline algae look and I'm done with bottle of Purple Up. I was reading about B-ionic and decided to buy it. Tell me if I'm wrong...I normally do water changes every week. Should I wait a week and test again, and if the levels are low, dose with B-ionic and start doing water changes every two weeks?

NICE! Like the Pagoda, spot feed with a baster it's fun to watch it chow down :-)

Welcome to the site, and I'm glad to hear you want to make it your new home.

I wouldn't call it the dark side... more like the better side.

Looking good!!

The corals in the first pic, from left to right
An acan, or possibly echinophylia (chalice) but its hard to tell from that angle
middle front, an acropora
middle back a plating or whorling montipora. (monti cap is the generic name)
an encrusting montipora.
Second pic is a pagoda.

i know the second one is a rock pagoda. and it looks good

tank is looking really good, is that lighting fixture 4 or 6 bulb?
