Took an hour drive to my favorite LFS fragtastic reef of Frederick and picked up some frags on the $10 and $20 rack. I came home with a blasto and some random SPS
I also recently picked up some lucky finds at Petco. Purple digitata, acan lord, a random monti, and a Mr Freeze lepto. It’s so bright I’m having issues getting a pic.
Slowly but surly coming together. I’m using about 30 ml a day of brs two part and am getting lots of growth. I can’t wait for things to start filling out. I have a bit of an algae issue right now but I have about 100 snails on the way from reef cleaners. Right now I’m pretty solid with these levels
salinity 1.026
Calcium 480
Alkalinity 9.1
Nitrate 1.5
Phosphate .04 ppm

Some picture updates. I got my hands on an Orphek smart phone lens. Makes for some pretty good picture. All these pics are un edited with an iPhone 11 and the Orphek lens different combos

Things are coming along nicely. I did have a bit of a scare that luckily I was able to catch and recover from. My phosphates crept up to nearly .4 ppm and the corals did not like that at all. I ramped up my algae scrubber and have been able to slowly drop them and things are recovering well. My most recent levels
salinity 1.026 (Milwaukee digital refractometer)
Calcium 440 (Salifert)
Alkalinity 8.6 (Salifert)
Nitrate 16 (RedSea)
Phosphate .15 ppm (NYOS)
here are some top down shots.
