30g AIO banned reef

[Little Blue]

8 months old AIO setup based on IM30 Long. It’s a bare bottom design optimized for high flow and low maintenance. It’s a mixed reef with mostly SPS, LPS corals. 5 fish- 2clowns, Clown Goby, Tailspot, Purple Firefish, Curaçao deep water Chromis. 2 shrimps- Skumk and Sexy that lives in back chamber fuge. Small CUC and Tuxedo Urchin. Corals are fed several times per week with Power Acro, Reef Roids, pods and phytoplankton. Fish are being fed 2-4 per day. Dosing 2 part manually. Occasionally dosing Iodine and Strontium.
•Light- 2 Kessils A160, Kessil A80 for fuge
•Flow- 3KPS and 1AI Nero. Return - Jebao2000 DC pump. Total turnover- around 100X.
•Filtration- fuge in 2back compartments, Miracle Mud in 2 flow thru boxes, carbon, ChemiPure, Tunze 9004 skimmer, filter floss, MarinePure spheres.
• Other- ATO IM Hydrofill, several WiFi power strips, Cobalt and Aqueon heaters
There’s probably a number of things that I am forgetting but I’ll try to fill the blanks later with time.

Thank you so much.
Tank is only 8months old but I’ll try to do a fallow up and take this journey down the memory lane. Initial issues, transition from Triton method to two part, experimenting with flow and nutrient intake that kind of change my view on things I thought were a golden standard of successful reef keeping.

Lol I kinda neglect that tank hence the name. I checked DKH in that tank few days ago and it was at 5.5. It’s a 14gal peninsula with verious leftovers, softies and several small fish including bended Pipefish.
