Well here is my solana. It is 3 months old, and my first salt water tank. I have spent more time than I would ever like to admit researching everything I can learn about reefs and still have A LOT to learn. The purpose of this thread is to hopefully get advice from anyone willing to give it, as well as any suggestions / trades / sale suggestions that people might think would improve my tank. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Other Info
Running all stock and no skimmer or ato. I do around 4 gallon water changes every week. I add a small dose of calcium once a week, and add dt's phytoplankton twice a week. I feed frozen mysis shrimp and occasionally vitamin enriched pellets.
Please any suggestions on coral arrangement, adding / subtracting rocks, anything... I would love to hear about. I plan on becoming a member in the next week or so (waiting for my paycheck) and would love to do any trades or get anything in my tank to look better. I plan on adding a remora C protein skimmer and would love to get an ATO but I am a little nervous about an overflow when I am not home.
