So alk and calcium are the foundation for coral growth bu they have no effect on algae growth. Nitrates and phosphates are what cause algae to grow. So get all of them in check and your sps will grow.

I have two of them so I think we can work something out.

I am a huge fan of always using a new sand bed when you move a tank, we have done it several times and have never had a problem doing it. When you disrupt and old sand bed you can be realeasing a lot of nasty stuff, and if you don't properly rinse it (like Mark states above) you can do more...

I have one laying around you can have, but it is a monster, sized for our system. It is the bigger mr1

Tank looks amazing. If you want a cheap "hack" get some of the orange gel filters to take your pictures through. Might make a big difference and it is a really cheap option.

I probably wouldn't overthink it then. Nothing in that list really requires fast or slow flow through the sump.

Sump flow really depends on what you have going on in the sump. Is there anything else beside a skimmer in there, any baffles, any other reactors or chaeto or whanot?

I would pull the bigger fish and do what you want with the tank. This hobby is tough enough to have a tank you don't really like. Also those fish will get really big for a 120 and might cause even more problems down the line. Get your teenaged son involved and get him hooked and you will have...

Everything is doing well here, we are hosting the meeting in May, you guys should come by.

Looks really nice, love the lobo.

Will always have a spot in my heart for a 20g high, it was my/our first tank. One of the nice things about it as you learned is it is very easy to hit the reset button on. We never drilled ours either and just ran HOB fuges and skimmers. Worked out really well. Looks really nice

Just set it up in your car, and move it into the house when you get permission. Look really nice.

How is everything going?

Cool, looking forward to following along.

Really cool system, what is your overall goal with having the multiple tanks?

I believe the conclusion to the study was that it was fine to start fish on selcon to get them to eat frozen foods but you don't want to do it long term because of the liver problems. If you are feeding LRS, your fish are getting a good quality food and you should be good to go from there.

I would add a Blue+ bulb in, maybe in place of the actinic. Gives great color pop and has a nice strong par as well.

That is a very nice grown out chalice. Tank looks great.

If you guys are headed down to my meeting in May, Icarus brewing is pretty close and has been putting out some really good beers.

I was about to say, hell of an upgrade. WWC is really worth the trip if you are in the Orlando area.
