Playing with a new macro adaptor. Results are... wild. These are not cropped. Edited to early morning look. 

 

Let me know what you think.

@DaveFason what happened to the tank?  did it sell?  or is it still around?  what's your tank situation these days?

Just seeing this! 

 

UPDATE :

Red Sea is in my mother in laws school. So far so good. 

IM10 - Current in the corner of my in-laws until our house is ready.

After a good scrubbing and water change the tank is back on track after running on limited on a generator for five days. 

 

The good :

  • Nero5 Pumps - Absolutely love these. The control and BLE connection is ground breaking. It is so simple, fast and seamless. Quite operation and gentle wide flow. 
  • Using @inTank filter pads in baffles has been extremely beneficial. The water clarity has been the best in years. 
  • On/Off Duo - Running only 36w and the colors and growth has been perfect. It took me a bit to get used to not having the same amount of light but enjoying the simplicity. 
  • Bubble algae is starting to dissipate and becoming easier to manage.

The bad :

  • Aptasia is still growing. I will be ordering peppermint shrimp to take care of that from Reefcleaners. 
  • Sections of glass are nearly impossible to scrape. Not a huge issue but hate seeing coralline and gunk on those sections. 

PAR : People ask about this all the time. I find not to chase numbers but give the corals consistent feedings, parameters and light.

Overall I can't complain. I love this tank and the progression over the past year.

Any tips or thoughts on working with the Reefer 170? Think there's a better comparable out there in 2020?

 

Love the growth pattern on that monti cap
