Looks great! I have a nuvo 20 too but more of a mixed reef than yours but I still have a bunch of nice acros growing! I have a hydra26hd too, great light!

I didn’t catch how old the tank was, I probably just missed it!

Thanks, it's around a year and a half old! I've since switched to T5 lighting, which I have to admit is far better than the hydra I was previously running. You're right though, it's not a bad light!

Awesome tank! I have the same tank but a little more mixed with some LPS.
Just out of curiosity what is your water change schedule and feeding like?
I have a similar bioload of only 3 small fish but seem to always be battling nitrates. (20-40ppm).

I do a 4g waterchange every 2 weeks. I have one fish that I feed around 5 times a day with an autofeeder. My nitrates and phosphates are very low.

Thanks! The remainder of the day is running BRS' version of AB+ for hydras. I just adjusted the overall intensity to match my tank. Been very satisfied with the settings. Here's a photo of the schedule

I am also using the BRS AB+ setting.But my coral just went bleaching. I thought it might be the height of the light.

Perhaps. Try using the acclimation mode. I no longer use the AI lights as I've switched to T5 a while back. Far better for SPS.

How do you like the eshopps skimmer? I’ve been thinking about getting one for my tank
It's alright, I wouldn't say it's anything special. It's a bit noisy and difficult to clean. If I were to buy a nano skimmer again I think I'd go for a Tunze instead.
