I finally feel like I am at a good point to where I can sit back and watch everything grow now. I've got my parameters set to
SG 1.026
Alk 8.1
CA 470
MG I don't test for it at the moment
Nitrates 5ppm
Temp 78 (2 Eheims on a Reefkeeper)
Here are some pictures of the 135.

My 110 now houses a Bursa trigger, Blue Throat Trigger, Orange Shoulder Tang, Axilspot Hogfish, Flame angel and two Molly Miller Blennies. This tank just has fast growing stuff like GSP, Toxic trash palys, cloves, some macroalgae and a couple of extra frags from my frag tank.

What wattage are you using on the 2 eheim heaters? I'm trying to see if it's better to go with one high wattage (for 112gallon) or 2 medium wattage. Great posts!!

Both are 300 W heaters. Id definitely go with 2 heaters

Woah ... now that is how zoanthids should be done!

Is the flagfin in the same tank with those and a clam?! You're a brave fellow - I like that in a reefer!

Thanks!
No the flagfin is in a 40 gallon tank with a derasa only and rock flowers, no other coral. It's a juvenile and as of now has no interest in anything besides enriched brine, algae, pods, and little bits of sponge. It's about 2 in long

It's been a few months since my last update and the reason why is....DINOFLAGELLATES!
Im pretty sure I caused the outbreak by disrupting the biological filtration. I removed all the fish in my 110 as well as a few large paly covered rocks and soon after the dinos appeared. I tried everything besides bleach to fight the dinos but I think the most important additions were live rock from my LFS invert system and dosing bacteria weekly. I lost lots of acropora but luckily I was able to frag my zoas and palys in order to trade for more acros to experiment with. Currently the dinos seem to be gone and all my new acros have visible grow.
