Finally some diatoms on the bottom glass!

also received new tip-off, dosing pump and circulation pump so hope to evaluate those soon.

Well that’s it. Nearly all zero (ammonia, nitrite and nitrate).

Will continue doing weekly 1G water changes, will setup dosing system and add carbon.

Numbers look good. Added Hanna alk test = 9.3 dkh.

corals look good except one acan where poly is clearly detaching from skeleton. I moved it a little lower and way from powerheads and will watch it. I’m sure it’s stressed but don’t know from what. Increased water changes to 10% every three days.

Updated pics. Added skimmer to deal with higher than expected nutrient tank (gotta stop feeding acan mysis shrimp). And removed some LR. Lost a little color adding prescribed amount of GFO oh well.

Also was able to replace two Hydor pumps with one hygger wave maker. Pump is awesome instructions are impossible to decipher.
