Full tank shot, things are going mostly well. Dealing with a little bit of algae and some corals that ain't doing so hot.

Looking awesome! That red gorgonian is seriously the centerpiece. Love how the mushrooms are spreading on the sand and up the rocks. Blastomussa and what looks like favia are looking pretty happy from here. Algae is such a pain in nanos. I swear if something gets a little out of whack it shows up so fast. Are you running extra flow or scrubbing by hand? I notice with my small tank that even a little extra feeding puts things out of balance. Have your snails been helping at all? Some of my corals pull back when things swing even a bit. Do you notice if it happens after water changes or just

Temporary spot for the gorg, it needs a specialized tank with extremely low light. Very prone to algae growth.

Totally get that, gorgs can be so picky. That low light need is tough in a mixed reef, especially!

Forgot to address your question about the algae. I just got over a ton of green cyano, red cyano, and dino. There's still some dino on the sand and towards the back of the tank. I've found high flow to help a lot. I've always had trouble keeping my nutrients up, but ime good parameters and patience always fix the problem, for algae at least.

That gorgonian is lookin sweet! Love the colors
The gorg looks nice but boy is it a pain. Its barely hanging on at the moment. This type of non photosynthetic gorg is extremely hard to care for. I dont recommend it. I had it in a holding tank, but it wasn't doing well in there either, Im currently setting up a more specialized tank.
