Clean up crew and copepods appear to be doing their job - the diatoms are all but gone. No cyano yet.
I got the two 10W wavemakers set up on the back wall at the top running random flow mode and I'm really happy with the circulation I'm getting and the gradient in flow from high and turbulent at the top down to slower laminar flow towards the bottom. If I decide to get some SPS, I might turn back on the 30W on the side across the two 10W and return flows to create turbulence.
I put in an order for a QT Royal Gramma at Dr Reef. I have some travel coming up first week of Nov and didn't want to risk leaving the fish in such a small tank for 4 days. After that trip I'll pick up the 2 Cardinals and start QT.
Speaking of the trip, since I'm currently just FOWLR, I think I'm just going to put a fresh diaper in, empty skimmer, 10% WC, and risk the auto feeder (it is all taped up now). Any other advice is welcomed.
Off to the store to grab more furniture for the room. The bookshelves I wanted are finally back in stock!
