Hey guys long time.... just wanted to post some more updates, pretty much more of the same. Recovering from a issue with diatoms, but all is well. Still a huge fan of ATI essentials for keeping my tank in order. No water changes at this point, I believe the diatoms came from some nails dying in my tank

Family here is the latest. Had a major set back with bubble algae. Dosed vibrant which effectively killed the algae and some of my prized colonies. I'm on a upward trend and tank is bouncing back. ATI essentials pro has been great!!! I love that stuff and its making maintaining my reef super easy!

Family thanks for your patience. Please see recent updates. Received results for the latest ICP test and ATI Essentials still keeping things in order. I'm a huge fan of the product and will continue to use it. I also purchased an Apex and its helping me keep all the important water parameters in order (Trident FTW!!). I plan on adding some more SPS here very soon.... more updates to come.

Thanks! I wanted to make sure the fish had room to swim and that i could have opposing currents on each side. The decor was made so when corals start to grow the flow would remain maximized.

How much rock do you have in the tank? Planning a similar sized tank and definitely going with similar approach. Really like the Amano styled planted tank scapes which often play with the friction on negative and positive space and which are precisely thought out.
