Been a minute. Thought I’d update with a new full tank pic.

Looking good man! keep up the hard work.

Thanks!

Just lost my tang. Just wouldn’t take to feeding. Bummed, but will keep trying. All others are doing really well.

Sorry to hear that... I'm glad everyone is doing well.

Hey man. How’s the tank doing?

Oh. Things are going well actually.

Thanks for checking in.

I had a battle with algae a few times,but I rode it out and now the tank has found its balance.

I have a refugium going strong in the sump, corals are looking good and growing, and fish seem happy.

Here’s a full tank pic this morning.

Cool, it’s looking good! Have you dealt with bubble algae at all? That’s what I’m struggling with at the moment, and man is it a pita to get rid of.

I had a few bits of bubble algae early on. Came in on live rock. Never took off. I think the emerald crabs and/or rabbitfish took care of it. Haven’t seen since.

My big issue was hair algae. But I think the refugium helped a ton. Algae grows there, but not in display.

Yeah, a refugium definitely seems like a good idea. I’m glad the tank is doing well!
