13.5 Fluval Update

[CGold4]

I had posted here when I started my son’s 13.5 fluval tank a few weeks back. I’m at a point where I think I’m completely done stocking. Parameters are good. Doing 10% weekly water changes, top off with RO/DI is rarely needed. Half cap of Aquavitro Fuel supplement for corals twice a week.

Feeding frozen mysis in morning and evenings, couple pellets of shrimp patties for lunch.

What says you about the amount of coral and their placement? Does it appear that I’m moving too fast or doing anything wrong? Seems like everything is going great

For whatever reason, the pictures didn’t upload. Let me try again

I can’t see any flow but other than that, IMO, looks great, well thought out.

Watch phosphate does not zero out, that can trigger pest stuff to suddenly appear.

Iam not a fan of strip tests but if that works, enjoy.

I have a wave maker. Just having trouble understanding how to set it correctly for the contents of the tank.

Just a psa. If you do use test strips take a small amount of water out of the tank and then test. Never put the strips directly in your tank.

Looks good! I like the island look of it. Might get a bit cramped when the corals start getting bigger. I wanna see it when the GSP takes over the back, that's gonna be cool.

Is it controllable? What gph? Start with gentle flow and go from there. You want to minimize dead spots but at the same time not blast your corals. Don’t be afraid to to tinker with it a bit till you find that sweet spot
