Looks like you had an excellent progress! Very nice!
Btw, what kind of dosing pumps you have and do you recommend them?
Are dosing pumps noisy? Any other hints in that regard?
Cheers

I'm using the GHL Profilux dosing pumps: http://aquariumcomputer.com/System__E_/Products/Dosing_technics/dosing_technics.html
They are a bit noisy, but they only run for a few seconds at calculated intervals, for instance 14 times a day 2.0 ml (2 sec.). They work great to adjust and stabilize Ca, Alk and Mg parameters.

Ok, great and thanks for this helpful info. Cheers, YT
Thanks Mike. Apparently my LR was cured already. I added two extra pieces of LR a couple of weeks after I started the tank, and that introduced some green hair algae, but the Yellow Tang took care of it. I also got some Red Cyano when I put my sandbed in the tank, but that's going away now.
Looks great buddy, amazing when your cleaning these tanks how long it can take. I'm like right water change, Hoover some sand, oh should have scraped rear glass, clean rear glass do another water change, whilst cleaning glass ill have to remove nozzles oh well get them in the cleaner, refit nozzles now mp's look a mess, take them apart and clean, then I ain't even started the top grill, have a brew, use spoon to clean grill, then clean rocks, knock things down, re position but its not quite right, spend hour messing with rocks. Step back and think right that's inside let's do the outside lol
Wife then goes nuts when she sees buckets, skimmer cup, water leaking out of a hose that your convinced you shock dry.
that is pretty much my sat morning gone now but want to whip over to LFS, which is in no way local! Wife is getting even more annoyed cause you want a lump off rock and a bucket of salt, she wants you to buy a meal out and some new threads!

Sounds very familiar... You forgot to test the water, adjust the dosing of Ca, Alk and Mg, but before you can do that you have to mix the supplements... While the powder is dissolving in RO water we can exchange the media in the fluidized media reactors for active carbon and phosphate...
