small update for those following along...
Tank has been running a couple weeks, so far it has done really well. My marco was cycled for 1.5 months before placing it in the tank so my cycle has been minimal if at all. I have a small diatom outbreak on the sandbed but thats it. I am still acclimating my corals to the sunpower with layers of screen, Im taking it slow so I dont end up bleaching all my coral, this ATI puts out tons of light! Some of my coral has lost some color due to stress from the move but Im sure they will come back. My skimmer has been pulling tons of junk from the tank and it is silent in its operation, Im very happy with it. As far as fish, so far I have:
-Black and white occelaris clown
-Orange occelaris clown
-Midas blenny
-Green Mandarin (eats frozen)
-Lubbocks Fairy Wrasse
Im still not totally happy with my rock scape, I wanted a 2 island look with lots of caves and open swimming area for fish. It's still a work in process. Ill get some better pics soon, until then here is a pic from my iphone:
Skimmer has been working awesome, this is one days worth of skimmate

The tank looks amazing for only being up a few weeks.

Glad to hear your mandrain is doing well. He was definatly my fav fish. I bought him about 3 years ago from birdworld and all he would eat was pods and small stuff I couldnt see and because my tank was relatively new and I didnt know what I was doing, he got so so skinny. He was so close to death when I decided I had to do something, that I was able to just reach in and pick him up. I put him in an acclimation box and constantly dumped in live brine until one day he actually ate one. It was all downhill from there on bringing him back to health and although the transition to frozen took awhiile, it wasnt too bad. Anyway, Its good to see he has such a good new home. Your tank looks amazing.

Cool story Jeff, he is doing really well and Im doing my best to keep him fat. He is constantly eating pods, but my tank is pretty new so Im sure without the frozen foods he would waste away. Thanks for doing all the dirty work for me!

As far as updates go, the tank is still doing well. Nothing too exciting, I added a single Bartletts anthia and a McCoskers flasher Wrasse to the mix. Both are eating great and playing nice.
Im going to start dosing Kalk soon once I get my ATO hooked up, Ive never used it before but Im hoping it will cut down on the amount of 2 part Im using, Im up to about 120ml of each part daily.(BRS) I do have a bunch of sps colonys in the tank but it seems like alot to me. Alk stays about 7-8 and Calcium is 400-420. Ill get some pics soon.

It's looking really good! I have a ton of coral in my tank and only dose twice a week. Daily of 120ml sounds excessive! That would drive me crazy.
Good luck I really like the tank so far.

Seems excessive to me too but if I cut back my levels drop pretty fast. It's very annoying I keep wondering if I'm doing something wrong because I'm really burning through it.
