VERY NICE!! Good job John.
One thing though..get that caulerpa outta there now while you still can. The bases/root of it will be imbedded in the rock. If you can, take some wire cutters and cut a tiny piece of the rock out making sure you get the root.......if you cant easily get the rock out.......pull everything you can out and fill and cover the hole the root lives in with superglue gel. I see it behind the gorg but i cant tell where its rooted
some great zoas and gorgonia in there  tank looks awesome

Thanks. But let me tell you, I owe it all to going BB. When I had the sand, everything looked so dull and ordinary. A few days after the move and sand removal, the water got crystal clear, the LPS polyps are falling out of their skeletonsthere open so much, zooas are opening up more and looking more full.
I love BB, maintence is so much easier.
Picking up 1/2 dozen margirets snails and a few turbos next week to keep er kleen 4 good, and Im going to get my 250 watt Halide soon. I also orded a kenya tree pink that should come soon.
