Looks fantastic! I love the height of your scape.

Glad the changes you've made are helping. 

Thanks!

I'm glad things are improving! My 30g frag tank always has zero nitrates, so I dose both KNO3 and aminos. 

I wonder how much KNO3 I'll have to dose before I get detectable nitrates.

Here are the two browning milleporas :(

You can really see how much they've browned in the reflection in this picture.

My secale, however, is developing some serious purples again.

These frags didn't even flinch during the fiasco.

Finally, here's a really good representation of the spectrum/color I see from 7AM-3PM.

 

 

Looking good! 

 

You always have your tank rocking like that? That’s scary on a rimless.  My favorite setting and pretty much perminant has always been reef crest, lots of good random flow.

I normally would be terrified as well, but the ELOS tanks are basically built like a bomb shelter. The glass is 3/8th inch, and the manufacturer glued plastic supports glued all along the inside of the tank.

Nice shots mang

:P I f****** hate the amount of green in the tank right now! Been slowly adding more reds; my red acroporas are slowly coloring up as well.

Your tank looks awesome, that flow is crazy in that video. You got me messing with my MP10s right now. :lol:

Thanks man! MP10s are so versatile. I'm even tempted to eventually add 2 more MP10s for even more flow.

Try a gyre, in that size tank it would rip! 

 

Vortechs are great for more rectangle shaped tanks imo, since they have a more narrow stream.

Definitely was considering a gyre for a while. Got turned off by how often they malfunction and require maintenance however. I'm lazy and only clean my vortechs once every 3-6 months.

Here are a few more of my prized acropora. Teniuses seem to thrive in my tank, but milleporas slowly wither away.

 

Here's my favorite mariculture tenius. I've had it in my tank for almost 4 months now!

Here's an unknown piece, was originally looked like a tricolor when I got it. It has now turned blue/green with hints of pink fluorescence in the axial corallites.

Here's another unknown nugget.

I missed your update last month! I love these side by side comparisons of growth! All the rock work looks so organic now covered in coralline. Anything new in the reef this month? 🙂

Only update currently is that I'm sitting in China while my reef is being babysat in the U.S. 😞 I miss my tank.
