Looking good so far.  Good luck with all.  I noticed that you don't use a sand bed.  Have you ever had problems with the points of the rock causing pressure points?  The reason I ask is because I don't see egg crate.  Does this work OK for you?  (still learning as much as I can)

Hmm eggcrate eh?  Nvr thought about that. N its my first bare bottom tank. Id like larger pecies of live rock.  Looks kinda bunk with alot of small rocks piled like a brick wall effect...

I had a 250w light go out on half the tank..  so I opted for
A 400w 12000k reeflux on the center . Spread out coral looks not to shaby .
