Livestock / coral additions complete for now. Corals all going well apart from a pipe coral which has been closed up now for 4 days.
Focus now is to spend time monitoring and letting tank settle and grow out.

I run the diffuser on a g4 pro. I bought a shade from elk river corals and it works really well. What template and intensities are you running? I have the 170 as well and I’ll be mapping my par today with my radion.Some work on a sump mod to create a small refugium. Piece arrived today and was 2mm longer than ordered (grr) so not a perfect square fit; although at an angle I have managed to squeeze in a little more space. Flow holes drilled - enough we hope!
Built a small eggcrate for holding some MarinePure spheres after the filter sock. This may be further developed to form a platform for the skimmer if I need to raise it.
Radion XR15 Pro arrived today and now fitted - the mount attaching screw is very long and difficult to open the weir cover so need to remove and cut the screw down a little. I noticed the light is very bright when sat down on the sofa as you are looking up to the light as the tank/cabinet/light are tall. Temp measure I’ve attached some cardboard as it was quite distracting light pollution. I’ve seen a diffuser is available maybe this will solve the glare issue? Seen some other comments about making a canopy? Any advice????
