Resurrection of My 130G Tank

[Denizzz]

Hi Folks,
I paused my hobby coz My son was born with Tetralogy of Fallot. He had a surgery almost 1 year ago. He is healthy right now. So I decided to come back now

Ofcourse I have neglected my tank so long. I have had only 1 Sailfin Tang and a Gorgonia .
Tank Specifications:
DT: 140*60*50 cm
Sump: 100*45*45 cm
Lights: 3* Ecotech Radion XR15 G4 Pro
PS: Reef Octopus Regal 250INT (with neck cleaner)
Return Pump: Ecotech Vectra M1
Powerheads: 2* Tunze 6055+ 1*Tunze 6095+ 1* Jeboa RW8+ 1* Tunze 6045
Aquacontroller: Apex (old Version) with Orp+pH+Conductivity probes+IO
Heater+Cooler etc.
I tried to create an aquascape with pvc pipes, yet it is harder than it seems. So be prepare if you gonna try it!!!
The problem is I wanted to use all my old stuff, don't wanna buy things that I would only need one time. Not good but I have plans to renovate it.
Most of the equipment are my old ones. Only lights are new.
I built 2 cabinets, one for electrical equipment , other one for ATO.

I vae been posting my tank journal in another forum, so for quick catch-up I only added photos and last update not to bother members

Alkalinity and Ca numbers were dropped coz of coralline algae I suppose. Photo shows that. Light intensity is %35 only. The rock covered with coralline will be a great location for SPS corals I think. I added appropriate CaCl2 into sump and put Sodium Bicarbonate into ATO. Phosphate getting lower with nitrates.

I added 3 corals, Goniopora, Undata and Acan. I dunno the varieties of Acan,Undata or Goniopora. I would love to learn if anyone knows specific name of those.

Due to import regulations problems from Indonesia , we dont have many choice for LPS Corals. We can find but the price phewww! I.e. a small torch coral costs almost 80-90$ with 2-3 heads! I found few SPS corals so much cheaper and put them in my tank. One of them is probably a green slime acro other one Bird nest. But I dunno which acro name they may have. I will be glad if you let me know. Thanks.

PO4: 0.04 (due to practising to feed Acan

)
No3: 10-15
Ca: 450-455
kH: 6.8-7.0

Update: Hasnot connected UV yet. Coz not received it I added A.Millepora and 2 Tabling Acropora which I dont know names. I got three 4 1/4 g red reservoir for dosing. I chose Aquaforest Bailing. My supplements from AF are Ca, Mg, kH, Reef Mineral Salt and Strong Components. I will give it a try. And I added 4 th Radion. It is XR30 G4. Not pro. It is my friend's . I also will give it a try. Coz I need 4th light to reach ideal lighting level.

UPDATE: UV Sterilizer has been connected to Return Manifold. I am planning to give it two days ON time and then let it work with timer. I used Luandry machine water disposal pipes which are more convenient than others and cheap to replace if anything happens.
Future plan is to add a blackbox which controls both Heater and Cooler . It will be DIY. But not will be done by me
