This tank is awesome! Great job!
 
July 2020 update. I managed to loose a few Montipora and other SPS a couple of months ago. I slacked off a bit on maintenance and I think that is what did it, along with not being able to keep up with alk and calcium needs, to spite Kalk+2 ATO and two part dosing. Think I'll try some more acans and zoes as they are doing really well. Some of the red monti is making a comeback.
