Great looking tank! I'm 2.5 months into my IM25 and so far it's been going great. I love the ease of maintenance with this tank!
I haven't added any corals yet as I'd like my parameters to settle down and stabilize a bit. A couple weeks ago I started to get some diatoms but have been seeding the tank with copepods and amphipods and for the most part, they seem to be doing their job. I also have a CUC shipment arriving Tuesday from Reefcleaners.
Where do you have your wave maker at? It appears almost in the middle about 1/3 down but hard to really tell? Also, how do you like those spin nozzles? I currently have the flat nozzles on but have been thinking of picking up a pair of the spin nozzles or putting on the line lock split nozzles that came with the tank as I have a dead spot below my wave maker so I was hoping they might help. I'm running my stock pump at 100% and have my MP10 set about a 1/3 down and 1/3 on the side running through a schedule at a max of 35%.

2 year tank update. Tank is pretty much on autopilot at this point. I'll do a 5g water change every 2-3 weeks or so but don't dose with anything. I've had a few incidence of GHA and bubble algae when I get busy and put off water changes for too long but otherwise no issues and corals seem to be thriving.
