Thanks xquisit1985. Come back in a couple of months and I should have some fish to show off. I'm going to hold off on the corals for at least a year.

Thanks. This is how I did it. I put the sand in first so it was totally cloudy so I couldn't see where I was putting the rocks. When the water cleared a few hours later this is what I got. An improvement over my usual artistic efforts. Thanks for commenting.

Filtration
I am running two inTank media baskets with floss / purigen / chemipure elite along with an Innovative Marine media reactor with Seachem sea gel. I am also running 2 stock pumps. One plumbed to each return. It is the max flow the tank can handle. I am not able to use the IM spin streams because it will pump the water out of the tank with the waves.
I have a Hydor Slim Skim Nano protein skimmer that fits in one of the overflow chambers in place of the media basket but am currently not running it.

Changed 10 gallons of water. The algae is getting worse.
I am thinking about shutting it down this weekend. Too much work. It was a good run.

Weekly maintenance. Changed a little more water. I think a snail died and I wanted to get more bad water out. The Monti Cap keeps blowing over or getting moved by the big snail so I keep moving it.…
Weekly maintenance 2 days late. Did just the basic 11 gallon water change.
