In early October I added a cleaning crew, two clowns, a xenia, an sps, and a polyp.

This was during September. The algae bloom lasted about a whole month.

Cool. I like the rectangular trash can top-off. That seems to fit nicely with no wasted space. I also really like those ATO float switches. I put one of those on my buddy's tank and will likely swtch mine over soon. I actually modified mine a bit by flipping over one a the floats so I can have a low water and a high water float in my sump. That way if one gets stuck I have a back-up to cut the pump off. I also like the audible alarm when the pump comes on. That reminds me to refill the top-off tank if I forget.

I like it. You had a better start than most people equipment wise. I wish you lots of luck in the future.
