Looks neat!

On the chance of being a dick... but when I had a tank like this, where all my softies were doing so well....

Without a good method of removing phosphates, you will inevitably get 'old tank syndrome' as some like to call it.  Basically a buildup of phosphates in the rock, and all you can grow is a huge mass of hair algae, and bubble slime, which starts to affect even your hardiest corals. 

I would highly suggest you look into maybe the brs dual chamber carbon/phosphate chamber.  For a softie tank that is doing as well as yours is, I wouldn't run it 24/7 like I do, as you want a little grease and grime in there for the coral, but the carbon will get that yellow hue out of the water, and the GFO will help keep down the inevitable, choking tide of HA.  I tell you this as I WISH someone had told me 15 years ago when I could only keep a tank from crashing for maybe 2 or 3 years. 

In my opinion, GFO is one of the greatest advancements in our hobby.  I think we have the germans to thank for it.

I tell you I can see myself with a bowfront of some sort.  I really dig the look.

I will post my whole tank build soon.
Also i don't know if that green carpet is a haddons.
Forgot to mention the pair of skunk clowns too, they host the carpet.
 
I DO have readable phosphate.  Although i have  excellent
Circulation throughout my display tanks live rock .my sump flow could be better.
Tap water don't help .... :/     

I have 3 browned out hard corals. That Rick sold me for a good price.
All have coloured up NICE. But still could have larger darker polyps. Mabye its my phosphate?

Any way here's my parameters. Roughly done.
Very minimal amounts of nite...if any...
Readable amounts of phosphate.not dangerous levels.
Calcium 400 to 420
Dkh 9
Ph 8.2
Salt 1.028
temp 78 to 79.5

And filter socked  (except when i add lugols and purple up )
