Thanks. BTW, I meant to point out that the sump has an AquaC Remora Pro which has been converted into an in sump version (using a piece of braided tubing), and is being overpowered with a Mag 7. Also, you can see here an aqualifter driven top off. Most people here seem to use a gravity topoff, but this is much better with a larger resevior.

which cloves are you speaking of? I generally don't frag for trade, but then again i've only in the last year or so really gotten a strong handle on this stuff. My next tank will have a growout tank in the fish room, so it's in the plan!

The ones in the second pic on the bottom left; great awesome coralline growth btw, how do you get it to grow like that?

Ah, the pipe organ, yeah she is quite beautiful. I have not fragged that one yet, but i am sure i will eventually...

All I do for the corraline is drip some kalk using the aqualifter. I do regular weekly water changes using about 20 gallons of RO/DI water, tropic marin reef salt, and I stir the DSB quite a bit. It wasn't until i was stirring the DSB and dripping kalk that the coralline really started to take off.

Thanks for all the kind comments!
