Thanks! I was wondering if I should add some more rock actually to increase the height.

You could. There’s definitely room on the right side and maybe the left too for that. Just make sure that there’s room for corals at the top.

Ok, so there has been a lack of updates. I have been so busy at work and the wife has not been too well either, but lots has been going on. Black Friday, well I spent some money of a few bits. I will update my equipment list on the first page with that info. For now, here are some corals I got today from @AquaSD . Its my first time ordering from them and I can say they knocked it out the park. Every single part of their operation is slick and the corals I received are the best I have ever seen anywhere.

Nice! Are those torches? Could you give a little more about the two of them?

Sure! Yes they are both torches. The full green one is a Aussie Toxic Torch it has one head, the other is a Aussie Toxic Tips Torch which has two heads that are splitting! There is also a Super Duncan coral with two heads.

I just updated the first page of my build thread which brings it up to date with the equipment currently used. I also just ordered a Waterbox Cube 10 which I am excited about getting. I am hoping to run that as a Nem and Clown tank!

Finally got my Neptune DOS and Ddr up and running. First test will be tonight. I set it to add 5ml of ALK over 13 hours. I'll check levels in the morning via the Trident to see if I am going too fast or too slow! May have to readjust after water change.

Got a Kole Tang, I was really worried about adding one after my last one died. This one seems to have a much more aggressive temperament which is what was needed to handle my Mystery Wrasse. He does not know what hit him! He is no longer king!! She has spent the entire evening fighting herself in the glass! I hope that calms down!

Enjoy today's pictures

Beautiful photos! I’m impressed with how well your tank has progressed in such a short amount of time. I hope the new tang gets settled in soon!

Thanks, I am pretty pleased with it. The only thing I can’t seem to keep is some SPS. Other than that, everything flourishes !

I went out today to find something for the top left portion of the tank. I was getting sick of looking at rock! So here are a few pieces I got, none of this was super expensive but it does fill the space up well! Also included are some shots of corals I have had for a while now. New one's first.
