Kinda let the thread die but the tank is doing great. Ill try and recap everything since then. Rock cleaned up very good and skimmer kept pulling out gunk. Did my aquascape and hung my ati led powermodule with the help of a buddy.

I ended up adding 2 bags of tropic eden mesoflakes and 2 dry pieces of rock Lilbuddha gave me. Also ended up with a mess of wires that I straightened up by building a side cabinet to keep everything dry and salt creep free.

So when i made the side cabinet i also made a door for it but never got around to putting it on until last weekend along with routing the wires through holes.....wasn't something high on my to do list evidently haha.

I was planning on using the RLSS R8i skimmer from my previous tank a couple years back that i never sold but after transferring everything over from my JBJ RL30 it was over skimming my tank. I tried lowering the pump speed increasing feedings along with amino acids etc but still ended up with too clean of water so i lost a few lps including acans and blastos. The hammers, frogspawn, torch and duncans started shriveling up and sps started to lose color. I ended up selling the RLSS and purchased a used Reef Octo elite 150 and everything has bounced back.

Wife got tired of buckets and reef stuff everywhere and gave me the coat closet beside the tank where i added a few shelves and i try to keep things somewhat organized. Bought a used Bubble magus doser and a acrylic dosing container to dose Ecosystems balling salts. Purchased a few packs at a discount from a online vendor and probably have enough for the next 7-8 months.
