Just cut down my nutrients, using NoPoX, diligent water changes and just recently did a Chemiclean cycle and then immediately did a 3 day blackout with Chemiclean. It's been gone for a while but still fighting some Bubble Algae and Chrysophytes Algae. More of an ugly nuisance then anything bad.

Just hit the 3 year mark. Been through a lot of trial and error, a crash and the slow recovery.

Trying out Reef Roids and Polyp-Booster, been only about a week but haven't seen any major improvements over Red Sea Reef Energy and Reef Chili combo.
Acros and Mili still have meh polyp extension.

Coming alone nicely still, coral starting to pick up again since the crash.

Did a bit of trimming and removed a large Birdsnest that was becoming too much. I took the whole rock out, replaced it with another and transplanted the Purple Stylophora.

Here’s the latest on my tank. It’s picked up a lot since using Polyp Labs Booster and Reef Roids. Wet side on my right Vortech rusted out so I'm using my Tunze 6040 backup until I can get a new wet side.

Looks good, Adam. Great job. By the way, we just moved to Cary. Not too far. In the process of setting up a new Red Sea Reefer 525XL

So jealous, been wanting a larger tank but not sure my budget can go much more than a 75 gallon.

The MP40s will be replaced by 2 older WP10s. The final rock will not be bleached but rather scrubbed down in saltwater and placed in the new tank to help the cycle. This tank will become a deep frag tank after I build a three tier rack.
