8ish months here! After some bacterial problem (random rtn/stn) we finally have growth (from 8ml of kh to 40ml in 24h)
Here a picture of the tank (with the super cool fan of another r2r member) sorry for the algae on the glasses lol

As you can see there's a lot of little new things, everything is working great! (so i bought new corals)
I have installed also a KHG so extraordinary device, now life is way simpler.

Here a nice before/after the bacterial issue (nearly 30 days apart)

One of the survived corals shows pretty happy, also the rock have the right color and are super clean! (except for some gha spot, more later)

This is the MarineMagic scrubber, working flawless and i clen it every 2 weeks, i run it from 5pm to 7am (and i think i will make it run more in the next weeks)

About the gha problem i have decided to try the natural way and i bought some molly (giant sailfin and sailfin) we'll see in the next day how's go (found already one dead inside the traky mouth :( yeah, drip acclimatated in 4 hours )

Love the tank. I prefer the transparent back round! How are you liking the flow from the two gyres and what settings are you running? Also, how is the shimmer from the kessil?

Thank you! I also prefer the transparent... :D
That are two 250xf and they are great! I have setted up the preset at 30% and is more than enough for sps! Pretty amazing stuff.

I have choose the kessil for the shimmer and a bit more blue to add to the philips, phenomenal fixture.

The tank is doing great, let's see the new light what can do for my precious coral :)
Po4 a bit hight but i like it, also because i remove the algae scrubber for some mangrovia action!

what settings for the g5?
I'm using the wwc 1500g preset with just a bit more of white and cyan.

Now i have settled in 2x54w ATI Blue plus t5 so it become a hybrid and I have to turn down a bit the g5 power. 350ish on top 200 bottom glass
