Tank is looking great! Are you going to eventually epoxy or cement the rocks once you're done tinkering with the scape?

Thank you!!! And no, I don’t think so. I think I would like to have the freedom to readjust and change things as I see fit, not to mention, my bullseye pistol showed me how incredibly difficult it can be to catch a critter that absolutely does not want to be caught, so I would really prefer to have the freedom to remove things if I need to!Tank is looking great!

I actually haven’t heard of them, but once my tank stabilizes a bit, I will certainly look into them! Thank you!!That's some nice looking Halimeda macroalgae!
Also, have you considered adding a Molly miller blenny (Scartella cristata)? I've heard they are personable and eat Aiptasia as well as nuisance algae.
You reminded me of this thread:That being said, any advice on where to go from here? Water change over the weekend and I’ll siphon as much of the junk as I can out then, but anything else I can do? Or just keep daily feeding and let it ride?
Yes, so sorry!Updates?
I would honestly love to be able to tell you, but since BRS bought out MarineDepot, I can’t access my order history so I have no idea which return I have, ugh!Another suggestion. You could try to make your aquascape more "cohesive" by wedging rubble into the crevices where your rocks meet. They have live rubble at Salty Bottom Reef Company and there are several dry options on Amazon.
Also, is that a CPR Return Jet in the corner? Has it worked for you well? I have enjoyed using mine so far.
My primary concern is all of the sponges, clams and feather dusters on the rock. I loooove them. The sponges are bright red and orange and the feathers are just beautiful in their own right.Don't be afraid to pull that rock out weekly and scrub vigorously. I actually went super old school with my premium gulf rock and rinsed it after I scrubbed for 5-15 seconds in bath tub with plain old tap water at tank temp. I have a high powered spray nozzle I picked up for this.
Key word is don't be afraid with that. The old school guys used to take all new live rock out back at lfs at wash with power sprayers when needed during there curing process. Your not going to kill your rock I promise.
And there's just something about the fresh tap that really gets the nuisance algae to stop growing at surface level.
Pretty sure Dans premium gulf rock has a minimum of 15yr soak on it if it remember correctly.
Be careful around hitchiker corals you want to keep. Having said that I never lost one I didn't want to lose with this technique.
