It's been a while since I updated this thread.  We have had some bouts with algae and I snapped some pictures after we were able to get it cleaned. 

Some challenges:
Hair Algae
Black almost sootlike material in sump. 
3 fish losses but not due to parameters (two jumped, one 5 min before we cleaned tank, got caught in lid and my fav the male blue jaw due to a rock collapse, not sure if that killed him or if the stress of it did, he didn't make it a few days after). 
GFO reactor doesn't seem to be working right
Coral losses from fish burying coral.  Learned to check every day and make sure nothing was buried. 


New Equipment to get installed
Ozone Generator
3x Doser
Webcam

Fish:
Female Bluejaw Trigger
4 Zebra Dartfish
Picasso Clown
Clown
Sailfin Tang
Naso Tang
Convict Tang
Xmas wrasse
Twin spot wrasse
Diamond Goby
Snowflake Eel
Midnight Angel
Niger Trigger
Long nose hawk

Full tank shot








Our first star fish.  Can't believe we waited this long to get one.




Love these guys, they school on the very top out in the open.


Can kind of make out the midnight angel.  His contrast is outstanding.


The fish now swarm if I am in front of the tank, they much think it's feeding time.


Clam from MACNA




This xmas wrasse is huge






Longnose hawk




This guy has tripled in size in 6 months






Mushroom rock just grows and grows. My clowns host in it and not the anemone
