Current overview
Have just fought some issues with Bubble algae and now the new issue is Aptasia which is driving me mad.Added 8 pep shrimps and starting to spot feed fish to get them eating Aips they seemed to have started. Unfortunately Its my last option as i have wrasse and cant have Berghia nudibranches as i found out the hard way. File fish is not an option as i have far too many zoa to risk. Levels are currently stable.
KH 8.2 CA 440 MG 1450 N03 5 P04 0.06 a bit higher but working to reduce.
Feed reefroids 1 time per week. Amino 1 time per week , phyto 1 time every 2 weeks. LPS food from TMC 1 time per week.
Bi weekly water changes for now using REEFLOAT Auto water changer.
Currently added T5 but working slowly to acclimatize corals. Starting at 30 minutes a day and increasing every 4 to 5 days by 30 minutes. Have reduced Radion to 30% from 45 % increasing slowly also not to shock corals.
That's about it for now :)

You need to share some of your zoa secrets with me. My urchin (I believe) has been decimating mine. You have a beautiful tank.

I don’t have Irvin for that reason. They tend to try and get coralline off the plugs and taking zoa with them. I think stable parameters are best I have found

Great tank. Keep the updates coming!
Thanks I will do a good update when I have fixed the last few issues. Aips and bubble algae but getting better I have mostly acan and zoa but will get the cannon out when it’s all looking clean and tidy a few bits to clean in sump also

So huge update on the tank I decided to build it into a unit and moving to my dining area. All going good had a crash after Christmas so was best time to do the move. KH director now setup so will hopefully get things all stable now. On the right track again but sad to lose so many great corals. A few pictures of the new setup.
