Very nice looking tank.

You say your mct is 1400, is that your magnesium level?
 
Looking good bud, I like that phos reactor you got ;)

Do you find much detritus getting caught and collected in your sump from the live rock ?

Great Looking tank. Really nice and clean looking.

Do I know you from International Reefers by any chance ?
 
Nice, do you have any pics of your other setup, before it crashed?

Maybe you should have your sump lighting running on a reverse cycle to your display. Will help with PH swings. Just a thought.

I had my sump light running 24/7 and my ph was quite stable. Although it is not recommened to do this with caulepera.
