Looks good...but we need more info.

What are you using for lighting?  I think I see a BakPak skimmer and CPR AquaFuge.  What are you using for water movement in the tank?

What do you have for livestock?  The tank has been running for 3 months, were the inhabitants brought over for a different tank you had running or is everything new to that tank (and you)?

What other equipment are you using?  Additives/supplements?

Are all those timers on the panel for that tank?

here is my equipment list:
cpr bakpak
cpr aquafuge
2x maxijet 900
jbj reaction4 with uv
35 lbs lR
60 lbs ls
2x65 watt duel actinic compact
150watt viper k-2 hqi
moonlights
150w heater
digital tempature


Yes the panel to the side with the timers run the tank. Everything is new to the tank and appers very stable.
I do have my own ro/di set up and make all my own water with tropic marin pro reef salt. I have not had the need for a chiller, i built and designed the hood with cooling fans to try to avoid it, and my tempature stays at 78. I dose a little calcium and thats it , i change 10 gallons of my water every friday.

Yery nice!! It looks well established for such a new tank. Seems like you have great equipment in all areas. Keep up with the water changes and monitor the water parameters frequently. In a new tank, IMO less than a year, things can change rapidly. Not trying to scare you but untill  both chemical and biolocical systems are ballanced things can change faster than one would think. One thing I would suggest, since everything is going so well, is to consider investing in a QT set up for future additions. Keep up the good work.
