Little update:
I have finally managed to raise my alk slowly and now is stable at 8.5dkh. My lights are at their peak point of 80%W 99%B 99%C
My birdnest which i thought was doomed during the low alk, was fragged in attempts to keep some alive. However i left the colony in the the tank and now its seems to be recovering. My Monti colony is also finally recovering, showing some good coloration back. I lost a couple sps frags however.
My juv purple was bullyed by the hippo for a little but now they get along great. The sailfin is still awaiting a new home, before i try my hand at a small idol.

thank you. It came with a clear background. I have also been a fan of blue backgrounds, so i painted that color.

very nice tank, i love the canopy.
i also have the hybrid light. it is a very nice fixture.. and love how you can play with the colors.
tank looks very clean. are you worried about fish jumping out? will you make a mesh lid?
Thanks! can't wait to get a sand sifting star and a few nassuirus snails to get the sand bed clean. I'm Not really worried about jumpers. I don't plan on getting any wrasses so i shouldn't have a problem. Sometimes when i feed, the hippo will come up fast and splash a little water over, but thats about it.

I had my works camera with me for a while so i tried to take a couple shots of the tank. As you can see i still need a little work. perhaps next time i can get the right settings. But here is the better of the few. View attachment 10527View attachment 10528View attachment 10529View attachment 10530View attachment 10531

Its been a while since i updated so here we go.
I acquired a RKL with PH and iTemp probe. Thanks to MMreef, i also got a pair of BRS dosers.
My alk is dialed in at 8.5dkh while my Cal is dialed at 430. I added new bulbs and changed my lighting schedule a little. I also added some new colonies including some i need help identifying.
Last but not least i added another MP10WES. Since dosing vinegar and adjusting my alk, my sps has completely changed colors and have taken off with growth.
Enjoy...
Can use some help ID'ing photos 3 and 4.
Also 4 came with an acro crab thats white and has a black line on its shell. Are these safe, or should i remove him.
