Your sand has actually stayed well distributed. All of mine has moved to one half of the tank over the years. Not sure if it's worth spreading it back out. :0)

Are you using uv 24/7? Ozone? What else besides rks + crf + polypop?

 

[Matthijs]

I dont use uv, nor ozone. I only have a skimmer and I filter over some filter floss.
At this moment I dose some P- and C+ but that's only temporary.
Well, thats about it besides the RKS, CRF, PP and some good flow and lighting

Amazing! Never dose carbon source?

I prefer not using carbon source, right now I'm dosing C+ to get the nutrients a bit down.

Maybe here you refer to activated carbon?

No I actually refer to carbon dosing, even thougy I'm not a fan of activated carbon neither and only use it when necessary :)

Do you think that C+ is working?

 

[Matthijs]

Do you think that C+ is working?

C+ is a carbon source that fuels bacteria, so yes it will help consume nutrients

Here's an update on the tank :

Did some cutting as corals were overgrowing eachother, still need to cut some but the frag tank is full
May sound crazy but the corals grow faster than I would like them to lol, I hate cutting them!

This tank is insane. Should be quoted for reef of the month. Do you have a pic of the sump? Thanks.
