Thanks!! I want to take some more pics and see if I can see how much coral growth. I know there is some but I want to start documenting it a bit.
But yesterday I knocked over 3 SPS frags that I had super glued to the rocks. That stuff does not seem to hold for me. I have some epoxy to hold LR together. I might try using a small amount of that to secure the corals. I hate coming in to look at my tank and seeing a frag sitting on its side in the sand from falling off the rock. Ugg.
Mine don't fall over they are pushed. I only have one fish in my reef a yellow tail damsel, every time I have a hammer branch break off and place it anywhere he will move it. I have actually watched him shove a branch 4 times bigger than him off a rock. Little bas****.

It has been a long time since I updated this thread. I was battling some algae issues and the tank was not in picture taking shape. I went way too long between changing out GFO and carbon media in my BRS dual reactor. I had also stopped rinsing off my frozen food ( I had read that the little particles would be beneficial to the corals). I cut down on the amount I feed a little and now rinse off all food with RO/DI water. I have been changing out my GFO every 2-3 weeks and siphoning off any green film algae I can get to. I added some more turbo snails and two urchins ( a small Royal and a larger Pin Cushion). I also put my Algae Scrubber back online after a few modifcations.
There is still a lot of algae but the changes I made stopped it from spreading more and it has started to recede.
I took a few pics of all the corals in the tank. Here are a few to look at for you.

I pulled some older photos of some corals to compare to the newest pics. The growth is not super but there is some.
