Thank you! I had the usual GHA, diatoms, little bit Bryopsis. All that managed fine with cleanup crew. Biggest issue was dry rock sucking up phosphate along side the algae/corals. Wound up with bottomed out phosphate leading to ostreopsis Dino. Managed to knock it out after about 2-3 weeks of UV (along side pods/phyto/bacteria) Back to a stable place thankfully. the long tentacle plate was not my favorite purchase. Very..very finicky. (Many tell me they don’t live in captivity long) so time will tell lol.

Nice to see diversity of approaches to reef keeping! Love the simplicity of your scape, looks great! Are you planning to add any more fishes?

Thanks! Yeah it’s definitely a simple system. Just a little filter floss in the back ha. I’ve had these clowns a few years now (previous FOWLR), sorta like it with just them. Low bio load makes it easy.

Same here. I have an IM 15 with nothing but a filter pad, a lil bio-media, and 2 gallons a week water change and it’s doing better than my main tank! KISS is a good way to go!
