Looks great - no algae in sight, and coral frags scattered in numerous spots. I like it.
looks great bet the tang is starving to death in there. What kind of rock did you start with and what is the stuff blowing in the middle.

Have no fear, Mr Tang is very well fed. The rock is 100% Marco Key Largo Rock. The thing blowing around in the middle of the tank is a photosynthetic gorgonian.
Looks like you're off to a great start! you seem to have great flow, are those MP40's or 60's?

Hey Brett, tank looks awesome, glad you got all the algae and slimy stringy stuff gone. Have you got a Refugium on line yet?

There's still a tiny amount of that algae hanging around mostly in the sand bed and overflows but the rock is essentially clean and nutrient levels remain undetectable. NO3 and PO4 both read 00s which is a good thing. No refugium as of yet but I plan on incorporating something probably this year. I'll most likely just do a live rock reservoir to culture pods, sponges, etc... also trying to accomplish this without it becoming a detritus trap.
Sandbed? I thought it was barebottom from the recent picture.

1/2" is hardly a sandbed. hehe
Beautiful drummereef! But I can't see the video on my ipone3. ;-(

Try going to my Youtube Channel (link below) and see if you can see the videos there. I don't have any problems viewing them from my 3gs. http://www.youtube.com/user/DRUMMERE...s?feature=mhum
Thanks, it worked at YouTube. Nice videos! :-)
That was pretty clever Brett. I don't have a comeback for that one. Yet.
