12 days away, fed an appropriate amount of pellets every day and nori every 3-4 days. Phosphate 0.08, nitrate 0 (locked up in algae I’m guessing), alk 6.8. Scraping produced full sheets of algae which I tried to scoop out but the reef mat did 1.6m the day I cleaned it. I also have an INKBIRD and WiFi control of the ac. Final photo is after 20L water change. I’ll do another in two days to lower phosphate and raise alk slowly (coral pro salt will rapidly raise alk if I go any quicker). In future, I’d put a fan on the ‘chiller’ outlet for the INKBIRD and sit it to blow over the sump. Fish and inverts fine, green torch is only half extended (phosphate?), maybe some others have less colour but the alveo is the happiest I’ve ever seen it.
Caught my clown cleaning his corner today. He was doing it more till he saw me recording and got embarrassed lol.
Please excuse the dirty tank! Went on vacation and came back to a huge cyano boom, it’s gotten way better over the past few days.
New system has been set up for one month now and everyone seems to be settling in Po4 reading low at 0.018 and nitrate sitting at 1.13ppm. Despite thus there's a few spots of hair algae managing to hang in there
Over growth
A lot have happened in 5 months, good and bad. But the tank have been stable so far. Its just the aptasia problem i have to adress soon.
Starting to make some progress on Cyano battle #2! Everyone happy and healthy otherwise. Got the flow dialed in to help, hope we’re on the upside of it now! 🤞🏻
Newish tank. Does this look like regular diatoms?

the nems are just taking over the tank now it’s crazy there is 7 of them now
Blurry video, just another lazy day to scrub that algae off 😅
Dino battle moving into week 7, very frustrating. Not sure I am going to win.
Just removed all of the Palylies and am going through a cyano battle at the moment but all my pieces look happy.
Now that I got most of the crayfish gone, I think there's one left. I moved all the Driftwood stacked against the back wall. The end goal will be to have it covered in anubias and Moss
