Same here. Have never seen any algae on the rocks the only place it grows is in the sump and on the glass in the display scrap once a week. Working on a diy ATS right now fixing your post some pictures. Trying to slow growth at the moment zoas are growing into the frag rack and euphylia are splitting heads so running out of room so have lowered the alk over the last two months and working on lowering nitrates from 10 to 5 basically switching my coral from growth mode to color mode. This is a recent FTS. Currently working on a 110 30’ deep with 55 gallon sump with rocks still curing. Unable to view the attachments you posted :(

Looks really good. I wouldn't mess with the water parameter changes to slow growth. Seems risky to me. The other aquarium looks ugly compared to a waterbox.

Yes a waterbox is a good looking tank! The 110 needs cleaning. $150.00 offer up special. No chips or scratches and seams are good. Was an in the wall build but the owner had to move and did not have a wall to install it into so he bought a standalone tank and this gem was sitting in his living room

December 20th, 2019. Got a few halloween and electric blue crabs some small cleaner snails and my favorite snail for the tank. And of course some stylish empty shells since crabs have to be stylish

I think this qualifies as the most diverse life form tank I've seen run a cleaning + swap, well done and wow, wow system health and diversity
Thank you diversity is the goal. Next step is to add more life to the sand bed worms etc as well as a small sample a cup maybe of reef mud and sand. Also would like to add some more oddities like tunicates and squirts
