Great build so far, really like what you have done. I’m sure your son will grow up to appreciate it as well. Looking forward to following this build as it progresses

Just realized I posted about some new additions in the 30L thread but never updated my own thread.

I added an icecap 1k gyre and I am loving it. I removed the jebao pump I had in the tank previously as it isn't necessary anymore. I run ramping pulse of 4 seconds 10% all the way up to 100% during the daytime hours and don't have any problems with blowing sand, but most detritus stays suspended for a long time in the water column. At night I have 30% pulsing flow.

Had a bit of a bump when my doser accidentally overdosed some two part and my alk shot up to 10.2dkh [emoji15] but after some water changes and stopped dosing I have the alk back down to 8.4, which is a bit lower than I was shooting for but I can slowly tweak it up now that I have things dialed in with the doser.

The alk swing effected a couple of my frags, but I think the only complete loss was a small acro frag. I also have a little urchin that seems to enjoy picking up frags, hermit crabs, snails, etc. Which is annoying at times but i knew that was a thing urchins did going in, and it's doing a great job of keeping my rockwork clean.
