Tanks looking good today. Restarted my sulfur reactor (was pumping out 80ppm nitrates. Got about a year out of it) now waiting for the bubbles to work themselves out. Next plans for the tank is upgrading my UV from 25w to 40w. Never used one on a reef before but happy with the results. It's going to have to be mounted on the wall and I will have to redo my plumbing so it'll be a slow project.

Want to trap my stripey and hippo. They're getting a little big for my taste to hopefully add some more butterflies and a nice show angel (or dwarf angel pair). My QT is empty and ready for some fish.

 
Tank is chugging along. No water changes in IDK how long. dKH at 8.5 and gradually raising B-Ionic levels. NO3 @ 10-15. Phosphates have been bottoming out and messed with my purple sponges so tapering off the LacL, leathers and sponges like it at 0.1

Here's some gel filter magic
