Fluval 5.0 EVO update

[dolphindan]

Hello! Update on the fluval 5.0 build. Just added my first coral, a GSP. I bonded him onto a rock that is bonded to the rest of the structure, so if it grows all over I can remove the rock. Also added a nice G BTA named Clark. He seems pretty happy and ate spot fed mysis 24 hrs after purchase. Clowns are clowning and parameters are started to get where I want. Slowly bringing alkalinity up with B-Ionic dosing. Next step is to work on clearing up the water. Might do chemi pure or just a big water change.

What light are you running on that? I've got a Fluval Spec V that I'm looking for options for.

I have the FLUVAL marine 3.0 22W 15-24” running the preset Deep Sea Glow with edited Whites up to 25%. Going to see how everything does in a week with the nem and GSP as Ive heard mixed things about the light. So far so good though.
