The journey begins - Elos 120 XL

Now few more pictures, tank is still going strong. I made few changes to the system, mainly removed my refugium, it was not able to keep up with nutrients and mostly grew cyano and hair algae. My NO3 were registering 40 ppm, which is not bad considering how much I feed. Now I dose vodka and nitrates dropped to 20 ppm already and everything looks better. Also re did my siporax , it is now stacked nicely in eggcrate box, 10 liters. Still only few fish in , I have 3 chalk basslets, only one Fathead anthias left of trio and beautiful Sunset anthias male. Starting to seed my sponges for QT , as I am ready to add more fish soon.

Thanks Tim, it is hard not to add more, but i have the end result in my mind and i stick to the plan. There will be more soon , especially fish, now that this system stability is better and can handle even more nutrients.

Amazing!

Everything is doing great, including sponge , it is hard to keep those in SPS tank Joe, too much light, not enough food

Finally got around to make my screen top, I have some new fish coming soon, I don't want to find any carpet surfers. So far no fish jumped but it is just a matter of time before they do.

I know there is small opening, no way around it with my rock sticking out. But much better chance of them being contained then without screen at all.
