Took some clean shots this morning and realized that my hammer garden needed to be elevated. Ended up adding two small rocks in front. And seating the garden on top and made it secure as best as I can. (I did move whole structure back closer to the wall). Running out of the space -.-;

Another top down shot.

Old Amazon fire is used for apex display. Removed air stone, the turf scrubber. Also removed 7 head bubble magus doser that was dosing Red Sea ABCD (replaced with Brightwell replenish) and vinegar.

Hammer corals we’re dyeing in the back side and blue wall hammer needed to be elevated. Also removed all the encrusting corals from the back wall onto the flag disks.

1 Yr 8 Month Update…

Not much changes. Also noticed the tank seems to do better when I am out of the town and not messing with it. I am noticing colors coming back and some corals are showing some growth.

- 1 pack of CO2 media is lasting me 5weeks. Skimmer runs 12hrs at night at keeps pH average 8.45.

- 2 Gyre pumps are working great. 75% & 70% on Pulse mode 24/7. I Havnt cleaned it yet.

- Radion is running AB+ at 50% intensity. Increasing about 2% each week.

This is how my weekly water change looks. Using old tank water to assist with cycling.

I’ve added one small rock and seven bio sphere from the other tank. Just going to keep it running for few months without the lights. Do regular water change with water coming out of 24Gallon. Will eventually add some corals and go from there.

Currently Curing/seeding some dead rocks. (2-3weeks since water was added). Havnt tested anything.

I’ve Gotten free 40B setup from Awesome member @tbrennan (from ARC local reef club). that I will eventually upgrade to. But this nano tank isn’t fully matured. So I’ll have that 40B setup when time comes. <><

Looks like this: Will be buying a new 40B from petco and will replace the tank due to some leak possibility. This will give me double the length.
