I am terrible at keeping up on threads and have portions of my tank all over on here, but I wanted to put up where my tank is at currently! I am running an acro dominant tank with the following equipment:

Innovative Marine Nuvo 20
EcoTech Radion XR30 G4 Pro
EcoTech Vortech MP10
Sicce 1.5 w/ Spinstreams
NuvoSkim DC Skimmer
Aqua shield UV
Smart ATO
Cobalt Neotherm 100W
Jeabo DP4 Dosing:
-Aquaforest 123
-EasySPS Evo
Filter Floss
Passive Carbon (currently offline because I am treating the tank with fluconazol)

I have made a million mistakes and changes to my tank but I think I am finally in a spot where everything is happy and stable. My tank started as softies and LPS but I started putting Acros in about 6months ago with some success and I became obsessed so I transitioned to almost all acropora. I buy everything very small so most are still in the encrusting stage but all seem happy! Here are some pictures I took this morning, don’t mind the vermetids if you spot them, it’s an ongoing struggle (sorry I only have an iPhone for pictures...)

I run pretty much close to same system and I’ve been looking to jump into acros. What do you keep your parameters at if you don’t mind me asking?
 
I keep my alk at ~7.5, calcium hovers right around 420, and my mag is a bit high at ~1500. I dont check my nitrates and phosphates very regularly but when I do, phosphate are 0.03-0.08. Nitrates I struggle to keep up so I am dosing 1mL of Brightwell NeoNitro daily.

I also dose Aquaforest 123 to maintain, and EasySPS Evo
 
Looking good!!
