I know it's been about 2 months since an update but been real busy but tank is looking pretty bomb. Got some nice acros doing nice.

Looking good! How are you dosing the tank? Water also looks a bit cloudy. Did you just do maintenance?

 

[spsaddict4lyfe77]

Not dosing. Just weekly water changes using fritz. Yeah I did clean the tank a little before that

 

[Sltloser]

The stand looks great, I really like the artwork. Are you going to do anything with the wood behind the octopus?

No. Stand is done. Simplicity is so much better

I don’t know if I’d call artwork like that “simplicity” ;Hilarious

Agreed, much easier to do it simple! However that artwork is much better than I could dream of doing ;Happy

Meaning there isnt a bunch of crap to distract you from the painting i did. I could clutter a bunch of crap in there. But thats what the tank is for

Here's an update. I know its been awhile but been pretty busy. Tank is pretty loaded and im hoping to start on my 75 build soon. Got tons of mid to high end acros. Tank is running amazing.

Looks like you’ve got some algae though. Be careful, algae can grow over algae and kill them off.

Its been a work in progress. Algae is a lot less. Its slowly getting taken care of. Still have some reef flux to treat with just keep forgetting to do so lol

I started off with a RODI that wasnt doing the job. So Ive been lower phosphates with water changes. And water with 0 tds.

You could also drop a bag of gfo in there. That route is a lot easier ;)

I could but that doesn't do a thing for bryopsis

It will lower your phosphates which will help control it :)

Magnesium would be more effective
