Also finally cleaned up the wires so there is no more fire hazard. Can't believe it took me that long

before, the power strips are basically hanging over the sump.


Now everything is neatly secured to the wall.

Things are hangin in there. I have lost 2 corals to RTN out of the probably 60-70 that are in there. Not too bad considering I am treating every coral that goes into the tank with interceptor and fluke tabs to help fight off unwanted pests

An updated picture. I really haven't added anything new, just letting things grow out.

My big issue right now is algae. I have this red fuzzy algae on most of the rock that nothing seems to want to eat. It is mostly just on the base rock that I used so I am not sure if it was just loaded with phosphates or something and I didn't cook it long enough.

Clam is definately happy! I got a maxima not too long ago as well. I just wish the algae would go away.

Plumbed a 20L for a frag tank into the system today. It also has a 10 gallon coral quarantine tank under it. Also hooked up a phosban reactor, we'll see if that helps at all with the algae I have.

20L that I added as a frag tank. It has a reef optix 3 pendent with an 250W AB 10k


And a few nice clams I am holding for someone while they set up a new tank.
