thank you very much... and jus to touch on your comment about the build, and i also jus noticed i missed Bao's comment about my 180 build too, i havent even started it yet... i am still in the planning and waiting stage... i do not want to move my corals or my system again until i absolutely have to, plus i am going to need a new light, which will most likely be an ATI, 10 bulb, 60" Power module... but here is what i am looking at right now... i no longer have the rubbermaid tank... also, i will not likely be using the PFO pendant and ballasts (400 watts each)... however i will most likely use a single for a frag tank down the road... the 120 is going most likely not be used as well... at this point, im not sure what i am goin do for a sump/fuge... and i am not sure they will even go underneath, as i really like to be able to reach everything easily without bending... so it may all jus sit aside this 180, but who knows at this point...

if you are refering to the first page, post #4, the second pic down is a pokerstar monti... an encrusting montipora
blue base, with green polyps...plz correct me if i am looking at the wrong one
that one actually took quite a beating as my potassium dropped too much and i didnt catch it quickly... however it is on the mend, and polyp extension is actually better than ever, though it did die off a bit in the middly, and it lost that brilliant blue color... but i am hopeful for a full recovery in time...

and since i am a bit OCD, here is some more lol...
this is my blue Cali Tortuoso Acro... about 1 month ago, the polyps began to complete retract, and the base began to receed... it lost some color, or at least that "shine" that the skin had, along with its nice greenish hue to its base... also a couple tips were STN'ing (no, its wasnt becuz of ALK)... well, after some work, and some time, it seems i am getting alot more polyp extension, and all the STN has stopped and the tips that were damaged are about completely healed... not 100% jus yet, but i think i am well on my way... or its way lol...
so needless to say, i am very relieved, as this is a favorite of mine...

Ok, so power is back on as of early this morning, and we are back in business lol... gave everything a good twice over, refilled top off, dosed a full 2 part plus magnesium, did my regular water change of 5 gallons every other day, though its been a few days and i missed 2 changes i think... went a good 3 full days without any light, lower temps and all manual flow and oxygenation, and at this point, i am very very happy to report, that after some catch up maintenance and a few hours of lighting my system, everyone and everything seems to be in good shape, and opening up nicely 
i cant even begin to explain the relief i feel... i am 100% obsessed with my system as alot of u know, and this makes me happy, so i think im gonna happy dance right now, no joke lmao...
And to VP, Radreefer, and MikeG... those who reached out to help me if and when i needed it, i am very grateful for your offers and generosity... the extended helping hands mean alot, and im very grateful to you, and happy to be apart of BRS

Glad your tank made it. It would be a shame to lose something so cool.
