looks amazing but you better get your dosing pumps setup stat. you have literally 3 - 4 times as many corals as I do right now and they are sucking up your nutrients.
Maybe you should do like I'm doing and pull a bunch of the small frags out and put them in another tank and let them grow. I think you need time more than anything right now, so you can see where to put stuff.
I have a 4 channel doser set up with All For Reef, NeoPhos, and NeoNitro. I've been checking nutrients pretty religiously since I let them bottom out a few months ago. I'm sitting at 10 ppm Nitrate and .08 ppm Phosphate at the moment without dosing N or P. This is an increase from where it was sitting for about a month at 5 ppm Nitrate and .01 ppm Phosphate which I attribute to changing food from Hikari frozen brine and mysis to LRS Reef Frenzy Nano which everyone in the tank seems to love, adding the two PJs, and killing off the cyano.
I'm basically done stocking LPS at the moment. If I can convince the tailspot to move to the barnacles, I won't have to move/replace the Duncans. Everything will be in grow out mode for the foreseeable future. Lighting upgrades for SPS is next on the list which will take me a few months to get together. After that, I will start slowly collecting SPS for the top of the reef.
lol - if you want to know how your 40 will look in 6 weeks, just check in here .Oh ok. As usual I'm behind LOL.
I'm actually redoing my fishroom / office and need to figure out the layout. That and I'm trying to scale back on tanks ( 2 75's, 1 55, 2 40's, 1 29 <-- all freshwater) 20 long 40 breeder and 15 cube (all saltwater). 3 snake tanks (4 feet each).
LOL. I snagged one of those Adaptive Reef Controller boards while it was on sale. Looking forward to prettying up the setup once I get everything in permanent locations.lol - if you want to know how your 40 will look in 6 weeks, just check in here .
I have a bunch of projects planned for this tank including a controller (probably diy), my own IoT auto feeder, auto water changes, vacation lid (auto-drain) for the skimmer, power backup, etc. I'll be busy for a while.LOL.

You should be - it looks fantastic.If you were wondering what all that above meant, here's the finished product. I'm really pleased with the result.
Thank you. I'm trying my hardest to keep everything clean. Glad the effort shows! I had to redo the ribbon cable today - the dupont connectors were making very intermittent connection to both the relay board and the esp. I switched to JST (I think) and it's working a million times better. Here it is on box 2. I think it looks even cleaner, but still have about 30 more wires to add. Once I get it assembled, I'll make a post with my BOM, basic schematics, and 3D models if you decide to make your own.Very clean and impressive ReefPi, just like the rest of your tank setup. I like how clean you are keeping it.
I've considered building a ReefPi a few times but the only Pi I have available right now is a really old Pi B+, way too underpowered for today. I thought about the clones but I'm not sure I would follow through and actually build it well enough to make it worth the effort. I guess I should read up on the ESP32, might be a game changer.
Have you started working on the monitor parts yet? I see a graph on the display but I can't make out what it is measuring. I assume it's temp but...
