72 Gallon Bowfront - New Tank

I thought I'd just start a new thread on the new tank I got so that the title actually matches what the thread is about.

Here are the details.
72 gallon bow front
Fluval-405 Canister filter
Nova Extreme Pro T5HO 6X54w
Koralia 4 - powerhead

1 Clown Fish. (looks to me like its a false percula)
2 Chromis
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Dragon Goby, Pistol goby, Banded Goby.... whatever you wanna call it.

About 60lbs of live rock. (will be adding more as time passes)
All the coral so far came from Jay's tank and was in my pico. I fragged the GSP and the zoas.

So far I have:
Zoas (not sure on the name)
Toadstool leather
Small Kenya Tree
Green Star Polyps

Will be adding more coral as tank matures. I don't want to overload it to quick.

The awesome thing with this tank is that I kept all the water the previous owner had. I was afraid of a mini cycle, but none of the parameters have spiked at all. Ammonia 0. Nitrites 0, Nitrates 10 ppm, Phosphate 0. I've been testing it every day since it was setup and nothing has changed.

Here are the before and after pics. The cloudy ones are from the day it was set up. Pics were taken with my phone so they aren't the greatest. Seems like I misplaced my camera. Once I find it, I'll post better pics.
