Both are on random mode, A is set at 80% & B is set at 90%. I tried 100% but my gyre controller shut off. Entered a ticket with coralvue and they told me to upgrade the firmware and report back.
Holy those are cranked up mine don't go past 50. Do you get micro bubbles from yours?

@Shoob1e haha I don't! I have them a little past half way up the tank. I've been running random mode for a few weeks and the tank likes it so far!

I think some of the issues I've been having was related to flow and me having one of the pumps on the back wall. So I moved it back to the side and went to random mode!

I've been,tinkering the thought of putting one on the back wall and then my one on the side almost seems like it was crossflow, but now I'm looking for an actual gyre affect like a natural ocean

I did that for a little while, I could only run the pump on the back wall at 20%. Looked good, I don't think it functioned as well. My rock structures are pretty tall so it had to be up a little higher.

First time since the tank has been setup, two weeks without a water change. Trying to raise nutrients. Nitrate still testing 0, phosphates tested .01 (down trend) and Alk 9.5 - Curious to test alk in a few days since I added a ton of coral.

I did setup the Neptune AFS again to increase daily feedings. Very curious how the new addition Birdsnest (1 colony, 1 frag) a few acros and gonipora will do in my system. Maybe the a scrubber is doing to well of a job? I am running 2 lights 24/7, could run 1 light or on a light schedule?

Would you still recommend Reef Cleaners for dry rock ?
Thinking about ordering 80lbs for my reefer 250.
What sizes would you say to ask them for to get similar aquascape to yours ?

I would 100% use this rock again. I probably used 60 lbs if I had to take a wild guess. The biggest pieces I got were probably football size.
