This tank is now running for about 2 years. After some trouble with nutrients (By my own mistake), i rebuild the entire reef for about 2 months ago. Added a bigger skimmer( my old deltec sc 1455 just wasn't enough for the task.
And recreated the entire flow by changing it with the maxspect gyre( instead of 3 sicce wave pumps).
And since a few weeks i'm experimenting with algea in my sump.

All in all made progress in a few months(po4 0,43>0,18 so far and No3 from over 50 >25) and in time it will be back at my main goal of po4 0,08 and n03 5. I'm taking it slow just to maintain some kind of stability.

I'm running the tank without waterchanges. I haven't done any waterchange for the last 2 years. Not even when i rebuild the entire reef. i do measure 13 parameters from wich kh, ca and mg are stable.
Micro elemnts k, boron, sr, fe and iodine are within range, but will be fine tuned within the next couple of weeks.

i will post more fotos later on, it seems pictures from my dslr camera are too big to post here.
 
Very nice come back.
 
Looks great and thanks for sharing!
 
Tank filling up nicely. Well done.
