On this boring rainy Saturday, figure i try to spark some discussion. Show off your tank or anything cool!
Ill start:
I wanted this tank to be an SPS dominated tank but I'm failing! So, I've decided to go a different route and go more LPS/Softie tank. I do miss having torches and micromussa in the tank. I was in the process of removing sand but i am stopping that too. I changed lighting to a Neptune Sky from T5s. I'm really just tired of looking at the tank and not being happy. I am not sure the reason for the sps not doing well. I suspect a potential pathogen. I really should do a aquabiomics test and see. Its all good though ill definitely revisit SPS again. I clean tanks all day and the last thing i want to do is come home and just stress over this. I want it to be little easier for me to manage.
It took some time to adjust to the LED Sky from having T5s over the tank for nearly 3 years. As of recently i am really liking it. The spread is pretty insane over 3 feet. Thats probably the max you can get out of this unit. It really makes the colors of the fish POP
Got some hair algae popping up too which is weird as my PO4 never gets above .08 and Nitrate never rises above 15ppm. Lots of snails and a couple tangs in there. The only thing i can suspect is that i had very high alk from kalkwasser dosing. Which it started to come down, in that time the alk was low the algae had an easier time to "blossom"
Ill be stocking this up very soon with Lps soon.

. I think I may have room for a couple more rocks lol- I 'm still working on finding happy places for my corals- could use s few more- and a few less. I think I'm at my limit for fish though
