Thanks! I hope it stays healthy. Lately I am have trying fewer smaller water changes and it actually seems to be getting healthier, so I hope this lasts.

rbrockm1 - I have PC lights, I believe it is the Dual Orbit by Current. 2 96 watt lamps, fan, and 1 LED moonlight (which I don't use since it is in the middle and blocked by the middle brace). I am considering upgrading to aquactintics TX5 however everything has been doing fine under these lights for several months now
jsteph24 & TriGa22 - Thanks for the compliments
I'll try to get a good full tank shot but I have a hard time getting one that isn't blurry.

Currently I am using Tropic Marin Pro reef salt, I have recently been dripping limewater made from pickling lime, if my alk gets low I add baking soda, once a week or so I add a half dose of reef plus by Seachem, its an amino acid/vitamin supplement, I can't claim any noticable results yet because of it, we'll see.

Well I have a good amount of flow I think, I run 2 maxi jet 1200's and a Tunze nanostream 6025, and a return pump from my sump probably does about 300 gph and is divereted to two outlets via a SCWD. Lets see, I run a Euroreef RS-80 skimmer which seems to work nicely, and I grow chaeto in my sump with a spotlight.
I add cyclopeeze roughly every two days for my suncoral and my gorgonian, although I am sure my other corals might benefit from it too. I have also tried DT's oyster eggs but I haven't seen any noticable results from that so I'll probably stop after I use up what I already have.
Oh, I run a phosban reactor with phosphate media.
Lately I've been trying roughly 10% waterchanges every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and things have been looking better.
Overall I try to keep things simple, good equipment saves alot of time and money in my opinion. I try not to add anything unless I need it or I want to test it out like the oyster eggs and the reef plus, neither of which I think has helped.
