Following, love the tank. You don't live far from me either. I actually live in Renton, that's what made me look at your thread lol.
 
Ooh it shows you live in fairview park seattle lol. But it is an awesome tank. Is that a whole new addition to the house? Or a house from scratch?
 
Absolutely amazing upgrade, Nathan! Your builder is awesome. ;) Love the transformation my friend. Your wife and kids must be excited too. Talk about a major upgrade...holy cow! :)

I made a change to my tank a few weeks back that I thought was note worthy. I was having trouble keeping some colors on some of my acros (not all) as well as had trouble with some discosoma and rhodactis shrinking and zoas fading away. I had suspected it may be related to bio pellets and have had that suspicion for a while especially when it came to certain mushrooms and zoas.

Well, I let my bio pellets totally deplete and did not refill them. Within a week, I saw some colors coming back, especially greens and yellows and some purples in acros. It has now been over a month and the acros are really looking good.

I guess the bio pellets out competed some of the corals for something, nitrates and phosphates were still measurable when I ran the bio pellets. My plan is to continue without bio pellets for now and see what happens.
 
Beautiful man and exciting!
