Only difference I've noticed thus far is the coralline algae growth has increased. Still early so time will tell.

A friend gave me a nice frag pack early February. We have shared corals over the years and he is always generous with the amount he shares with me. Shout out to Reefanatik!!!!

2-14-24 Full tank shot "WINDEX". Hate that the halides turn off before I get home in the evenings. This is with the XHO's and orange filter cell phone pic.

I have changed the way I'm dosing kalk to the system. I have been looking at the "Chris Meckley" way of doing things for a while. I have always ran kalk on my tanks for the most part. Usually thru the ATO which I don't recommend due the possible failures that can occur.

I have had a kalk stirrer on this system in the early stages. I have since swapped it out for my old PM kalk reactor. I am having much better luck with my Ph now and dosing only at night.

Although I am having a cyano outbreak on my sand bed. I stopped vodka dosing until I'm able to get it under control.

Added a Linkia starfish to the mix. He's been doing good except tried to fight one of the vortechs and lost. He is now a three legged star.

Such a beautiful tank... can't wait to see it full of acro's like the old tank.
