Love seeing this tank do so well. At the moment my Max S-650 is almost a year old and ive lost so many corals trying to find the right flow and parameters for my tank.
I see you have the 2 gyres, are you also using the 4 stock jets on the rear of the tank? Mine are like 4 rocket jets at max and near min they create a ton of micro bubbles.

I'm only running 1 & 4 right now; both middle stock jets are off.
 
How are your stock rear jets pointed? I always fight with those things to keep the sand at bay.

I'm only running the two on the ends right now. They are pointed down and away.

I'm not a huge fan of the stock pumps. I use the gyres for most of my flow.

Im not a fan of the rear pumps just because they recirculate stuff that goes into the overflow. I want all the trash to go into the sump, not back into the tank.

After WC. Had to frag the green slimer and move to new location. Also, birdsnest got nuked by the bubble, had to frag and restart.
