What a difference a few years and some good equipment makes.
 

With running the BioPellets it  seems like everything has increased in color, poly extention, and size.  Well everything except zoas, which has steadily shrank and died. Unfortunately zoas where my favorite type of coral.   I have lost candly apple, tubs blue, fire and ice, and fruitloops.  I funny thing is that my polys purple death, nuc greens, and the large green ones in the back are all doing great.  

Great Job Troy... I haven't seen your tank for awhile...it's looking great.

Love your wall! Just did two myself 1 for a 14 gallon, and 1 for a 28 gallon. I dont think that spray bar is enough flow. It's a good idea though. Plus it creates backpressure which makes the pump work harder and use more electricity. The more surface agitation the better. I have a small rio pump on our bio-cube and it y's off through my wall and makes all kinds of flow. Until the water flow demonstration by Jake Adams at Macna I always pointed my returns down not realizing I could get better flow by pointing returns and powerheads towards the top, created a better gas exchange too. I had the same problem with the bloody foam, I spent a couple of hours scraping it away with a steak knife. Scott at seascapes told me to use silicone instead of apoxy but the sand wouldn't stick to the silicone. I gave the 14 gallon to a friend and he stocked it right away with clownfish and a grape coral from my tank. The grape coral was clearly affected by the apoxy so we put a bag of chemipure elite in the middle chamber and within one hour it opened back up.

Now if I could only get as good growth as I do color. I would be tickled pink

I see you have a glass cleaner in your tank. does it curve around the corners? what is it and where did you get it if it works will and curves

Not sure if its an issue with a 29 gal, but I tested an LED fixture on my 14 with no lid, and i lost so much to evaporation, i couldn't leave me tank unattended for more than 2 days cause the return would start sucking air. Made it tricky to go see my parents on weekends an such. Went back to the lid which will run for over a week before water levels get critical. Which also may tie into keeping your heaters in the return section of the back, the water level in there can drop pretty drastically from the tank level, making it hard to keep the heater submerged

haha oops just noticed the extra 3 pages of reading and date tags i didnt see, i suppose you have all the bugs worked out by now
