Macro algae was consuming all my kalk! Time for a harvest. With the summer months and everything else going on tank has been highly neglected.

I finally got the baseboards in, didn’t move tank for this. Will nail those when we move because that’s what’s going to happen. Do all this work, move and do it over again. Spouse always testing our skills!

Running mechanical filtration for the first time in a long time! Also ran some vinegar through the kalk dosing tube!

Tank is looking the best it has. I like the new rock scape. Keep it up and add more wrasse lol

It’s been a long time since I’ve added anything. I for sure would like to have MORE fish! Maybe in the winter months. I’ve either finally hit my stride or been SUPER lucky!

Been running this tank with no skimmer for 15ish months now. It’s MUCH simpler (is that really a word)?!?! Less equipment and rarely a water change. Matter of fact it’s been well over 2 months since my last water change. I’m semi consistent with my frozen food feeding. Otherwise the auto feeder does the work. I am changing out the pinky filter media once a day, been many months since I’ve ran mechanical filtration so nice to get it going again.
