more or less
when I transferred the rocks, a lot of them broke into pieces from being out of the water. So stressful! I glued them back together the best I could to keep the same shape.
tank is doing quite well right now, although I definitely started a little cycle and algae bloom. I’m out of town for two weeks and will take more pics when I return. Hopefully all is well with the tank!

what is that foam that you put on your door? what purpose does it serve? just wonderingTank is finally fully installed today.
A few notes:
- the Red Sea Reef Dose was super easy to install and is quite quiet. I wouldn't say silent, but less noisy than my bubble magus doser.
- My bubble magus curve 7 is insanely loud and makes the entire tank vibrate. I hate it. I contacted @Bulk Reef Supply to see if I can return it or if they can help me make it less noisy.
- I am very pleased with the Trigger filter roller sump. working flawlessly

Hey there,
I disappeared from the forums for a bit but here's a little update.
It's been anything but smooth sailing with this set up. I fought AEFW for a bit, lost a bunch of corals, then beat them. Fought red bugs for a bit and I think I finally have them under control. Weekly Melafix dips seems to have done the trick. Now I'm fighting bubble algae. Believe it or not, I still find the tank enjoyable. I just hope things chill out and coral growth picks up.
Quick vid. Sorry for the insane profanity. I was watching The Righteous Gemstones lol.
Questions above:
Foam is to absorb some noise from the sump.
Lights: I'm running AB+ at 45%
