Yes ! I actually got some on my front glass as well ,
Very interesting!
Im seeing same thing. Coraline growth predominantly around general vicinity of all my corals, discs, rubble, tiles and rack. I keep glass clean. But overflow box is covered in coraline. What gets me is I have full tiles and areas of tile that has 0 coraline where I have no corals.

Do you have any lens for the tank ? That’s how I get my true colors ! Also is your blasto a merletti?
Lens wont work for angle shots. No, not a merletti. Largest polyp is almost an inch and a half.

i think you seen the front pics,

I wanted to give epoxy a chance but all it does is cloud my water and doesn’t hold coral. Bleh so now my Duncan is in front on sand bed hopefully he’s not mad

Also Idk why I never checked the temp of my tank it’s at 75° .-. My heater is set to 79° .. so I’m guessing this aqueon heater is busted ? Or is it because my house is 68°. If I need a new heater what’s a good recommendation

get a heater controller. I still need to get one. Sadly the controller and heater need to be replaced yearly. (still need to do this) Eheim jager makes alright heaters. Not super expensive either. inkbird makes heater controller you can buy on amazon.

My aqeon is only 11 months old but I guess it’s done I took the heater out last night and held it and it didn’t get super hot I have to my house at least 73° for it to be 77. Are there different model inkbirds ?

This is the correct one. Wifi costs 50

Also, don't increase temps above 75 until nutrients are under control. This might be why the nitrates are low as well.
Higher temps cause nutrients to be more available. I forget the proper explanation of it.

I do have an Amazon facility 30 mins from my house ! But my new heater doesn’t come untill tomorrow . So I’ll set it up and plug in old heater. Would I put the probe in the same chamber as the heater ?

Yup, that way the heater isn't confused. As long as water is circulating, it will keep around the same temp.

You can add it to any chamber fish and inverts can't mess with. Just don't put it next to the heater.

Seems like the first chamber is a good candidate for the probe the water passes through the probe then the heater and then returns
