Full tank shot.

This is such a clean and focused tank! I can't get past that setosa. It's great to catch back up. You're obviously doing it right.

Thats too kind,I really appreciate that.
It's been a labor for sure,a few months ago it was over run with GHA. Now I try to stay true to a maintenance schedule. Still battle a few patches of cyano here and there on sand. Conch will generally handle them.
Yes the setosa is a cool piece I was fortunate enough to get from @Cultivated Reef . Great people over there.

I also really like my equipment upgrades,while not necessarily the reason for the tanks success,they definitely help things.
Also, later today I will be setting my Helio PTC heating system.

New Helio PTC Heating system installed this afternoon. Also went to the aquarium

 

[pgr7]

Also, my clownfish have taken to Jem,the Truly Outrageous Bubble Tip Anemone. So that's been exciting. I haven't been able to get a good picture yet as they will still dart around out of it thinking I'm feeding them when I get close lol.

Trying to keep things simple and efficient. The heater is impressive upon first impressions. I havent seen much flux.in temperature as of yet as I would with the Inkbird/eheim setup.

Full tank shot Friday.

Ordered a 4 stage RODI unit to install under the kitchen sink for top off and mixing salt. I will be using Red Sea Blue Bucket for salt.

I am glad to be back to making all my water needs in house. This will add in nicely to my maintenance schedule.
Also,the Helio has been pretty incredible. I have yet to see the temperature fluctuating much at all.
Nothing really else to go over,just glad the tank is settling in to itself nicely.

Looks great! That anemone is a stunner! Have your clowns taken to it?

My sump clowns bounce between 3 of the 6 Jokers I have with them. My Display Tank clowns have no desire to go anywhere near the Anemone up there. In fact, they hang out on the completely opposite side of the tank from it.

My tank isn't big at all so they had limited options I think is what happened here.

Yeah, mine are in a 70. The Sump is about the same dimensions as your tank I imagine.

I'm setting up a HelloReef at my office this upcoming week but it's going to be freshwater.

Curious, why'd you go with not using the AI Blade that came with the tank?

I have been reefing for a bit and knew there was more "involved" lights. I had an AI Prime for about a year,then switched to the XR15.
Nothing wrong with the Blade at all,just wanted more light.

Not very exciting, but necessary, water change day.

 

[pgr7]

Nothing to update really, did a water change today. Went back to making my own with Red Sea blue bucket,I was getting it at the LFS for a long while for sheer ease and laziness. I've noticed a good bit of growth on my Setosa. I can confirm this as my significant other who is basically an admirer of the tank said, " the orange one looks way fuller than when you got it back in February."
I must agree with her.
Here is a side view of it as of today.
