added too much GFO, next morning acros RTN'd. this was around 2 month mark of the tank.

Yeah, always got the start on the low side of their recommendations. I have always used it due to our rainwater having lots of organics. Now that I am buying RODI and NSW I'll probably scale back how much I use. I use the Aquamaxx stuff also, the high capacity version.

ever thought about putting biomedia like Seachem Matrix or MarinePure Plate / Blocks in your sump? Low maintenance, set and forget.

Might just do that too.

 

I'm excited to get rid of some of this coral.

I'm taking a look at that MarinePure stuff also. Damn it aint cheap! The balls are reasonable but the blocks or plate are ridiculous. The block does look better than a bag of Matrix though IMO.

Put the new aquascape in. The water is cloudy. I'll share a pic when it setlles down. There's one rock with my last remaining montiopra on it, and I don't want to chip it off, but it's very out of place.

Looking forward to seeing a few update pics :).

 

Once I take some of the coral to the LFS and figure out what to do with that huge rock, I'll throw some up.

 

Side note, my 2 bulb channel on my ATI isn't staying on. It'll flicker then go out.....

Could be the ballast?

Taking to Beyond the Reef? I am curious to what trade in value / cash they give you. You don't want to just sell them locally?

Brightwell just took out bricks and plates. They are doped with aragonite or elemental sulphur.

And I use their GFO and nitrate stones already. I had matrix, junked it.

Wouldn't the 4 bulb channel not work either? I'm not too familiar with it.

If I take in a couple nems and some LPS they usually give me a free frag or something. Reefwise is way better in terms of credit that's for sure.

excuse the tupperwear up top, it has 2 anemones in it. The rock on the lower right is ruining my vision, and the rock on the far left needs to be turned 90º. But I like this scape a lot more than what it was. The hammer in the center is also massive. I might need to find a new spot for it.

The shape is also lost in the middle. urg.. -____-

Damn, you really changed it up, but I'm 1000% sure you get the tank looking great again.

 

Thank you. Those are very kind words, I hope I can get it back to what it was before.

I just made a few more small changes, and it looks even better. I'm going to wait until i get rid of some of this coral and pick up a few new pieces before posting another pic though,
