2yrs in, not even close to an expert

Just a quick check in as I haven't posted an update on my 65gal AIO from glassbox aquarium. So many ups and downs. Success and total failures. 2 ick breakouts, fun bristle worms, added and removed a small and then a large arrow head crab, added and removed peppermint shrimp ( the shrimp fixed my aptasia issue and killed my prize rock flower I rescued for dead). I suspect the Arrow crab ate 2 of my beloved fish. Corals doing great..then not so great..then back to great. Realized I was over feeding with resulting high phosphates and some bubble algae.. Fun!? which am I currently slowly lowering/battling with GFO and emerald crabs. My blue tuxedo urchin is so freaking cool along with my fire shrimp (his name is Gus). My rainbow BTA was a wreck and now so beautiful and bubbly! More to come
