Jumping Back In- New Reefer Max 625 G2

Blue Wrasse survived qt treatment but didn't survive the transfer to display tank. I don't think there was any physical injury on transfers. I picked up a drip acclimator to make process smoother incase the pH was off too much from QT to display.

I have lost the male anthia, and another dominant female anthia. While siphoning the tank, there was stringy poop both white and black. Not sure if there was anything internal going on, or if twice daily feeding (sometimes 3) isn't enough to sustain the dominant fish's energy expenditure. Ammonia has stabilized on this tank, and no longer needs daily water changes. Today is Day 24 of copper.
Anthias Remaining

The Gem tang/ Foxface and the flame angel, copperband, and filefish are at the same station. The two tanks are on day 21 of copper. Wish the foxface would eat more aggressively.

The last qt planned is the second 29 gallon divided. Plan is for a powder blue hybrid and a yellow eyed white tail bristletooth tang. Should be getting the PB today, just added the white tail last night.

Day 0 WT Tang

The display tank has battled dino's and seem to have them in check. Nitrates up around 10 and phosphates 0.2, with daily dosing.

Moved the UV to the frag tank and it has cleared up the algae bloom, but the protein skimmer is overflowing so had to turn it off. The chaeto is also melting after thriving prior to the algae bloom, so need to remove that from tank.
 
Well never a dull moment in this hobby. Turns out my Apex NP Trident was way off, and while dosing nitrates to prevent dino's my reading was actually 100+. Currently working with Neptune to try and determine why the readings deviated so far from the norm. Unfortunately, GHA has taken off again, and the high nitrates combined with GHA caused several corals to die.

Added the 5 anthias to the tank on 2/1 and the flame, file and foxface on 2/3. The carpenters wrasse unfortunately has gone back in hiding the last 36 hours. I am hoping that there is noting major happening again.
 
How is your tank doing? Would love to see an update!
