Thanks man. I definitely will want to see your go at it.

I recommend getting some macroalgaes like caulerpa to help lower nitrates and phosphates, they also add an interesting dynamic to the tank.

Honestly, I am struggling to bring the nitrates higher. At the moment they are reading at 2.5ppm.
 
Hi guys for anyone curious here’s an update. It’s a bit over 8 months old.
