My Elos 160 XL Build

Have not updated this in a while so here was an update I did:

We spent a few hours yesterday and today doing some fish tank work on the display on Saturday and then in the fish room today. Lots of scrubbing, vacuuming, water change, and cleaning but it is all the stuff you have to do. We got another set of the frag racks from TBG which allowed us to pull one set and soak them in vinegar. We can now do this rotation to keep them clean which will help. All in all, things are coming together really well. The fish are doing amazing and the corals are starting to do very well. We have been dosing acro power now for about a month and I like the product. We are only dosing acro power, Kent Tech M, and some Dr. Tims Eco balance. I have put all the other stuff aside to test the acropower and also cut down on nutrients being added in. I am also feeding a lot more black worms and I just got some LRS frozen food in which so far so good (using the herbavore blend for now, have the regular one I will use after the first pack). I will report my feeling on this vs Rods Food soon.


Now time for the good stuff:
ORA Red Sea Mimic Blenny, Love love love this fish. If they were cheaper I would have more than one:

Looks great! How red is the Cooperi Anthias? More of a pink or red red?
 
Very nice tank!! It's always nice to have a fish room, especially with how the elos stands are built. The 120xl can fit a larger sump than the 160xl, crazy!
 
...

Anything new added to the tank, updates ?
