Looking good. Not sure if you’ve seen the Kent long handle scraper. Works great and keeps hands dry depending on tank depth

I'm going to have to look that up! I have a long-handled scraper from PetCo, but it is mediocre at best.

So this weekend I did it. I scraped. Scraped some more. I didn't really do much with the back. I then decided that I may as well clean out everything so I scrubbed my gyres and did a full protein skimmer clean out.. Today I glued frags -- my corals are currently angry with me along with my purple tang. He did not want me moving stuff around. I currently have more glue on my fingers than on my frags. I can't do a FTS right now (due to angry corals). But I can post a couple before and after coral shots. This duncan/whisker coral was my very first coral I purchased when I got back into the hobby months ago. I bought him when I had my smaller tank about eight months ago. He is now in the 210 and about 5-6 inches wide. :)

I think I'm going to have to redo this at night when the corals show up better. The top rocks are reserved for when my tank has been up awhile and everything is more stable. I'll keep sps etc there. There is an open space that is hard to see in the photo to the left, but I'll be adding more rock and create a ricordea garden there -- once again waiting on tank stability.

I am seeing tons of potential everywhere. Kudos on your patience.
Lots of space to fill up. I'm not certain if it is patience or my learning early on that SPS died in my tank because I didn't know they shouldn't be placed in a new set up. When the force and I become one -- I'll start the SPS. That, and I'll be able to make things fly through the air with my mind.
