Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow
It looks very clean.
I would slowly start removing the bioballs now.Maybe 1/4 now and another 1/4 in a week...so on til they are all gone.I think the rocks look a little to compact,perhaps some more larger caves would be nice.

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow
I love the corals and fish. If it were my tank, I would increase the Calcium to 450-500. I did not see your alkalinity measure, which should be about 10-11. Other ranges look good.

Re: Jp's 72 gal Bow
I would definitaly raise the calcium like Dr Marco said. you will get mixed reviews about the bio-balls. in my opinion if you don't have high nitrates, then they aren't hurting anything for now. It looks like you plenty of rock for bioligical filtration. so, there are really no need for them. you may leave them in for a few more weeks until the dry rock becomes more established. then remove them a little at a time. just my 2cents. nice tank by the way.
