Have you added any macro algae?

Now there's a challenge!

Just watch it. I wouldn't sweat it just yet. If they become prolific then take action.

Wish I could attend. Heading to Texas for my sons boot camp graduation. Hope everyone has a great time.

I think it's an acoel flatworm of some type. I've had those in previous tanks, don't seem to be an issue if you have a wrasse of some kind. They were never a problem to me. Mostly only were ever seen in my fuge.

I have a couple. Weather they'd fit or not?

Some of the best small game fishing out there!. Always an awesome time. They may be small but boy it's fun. Largest I've ever caught was the size of a dinner plate!

Did some Father's Day crappie fishing with my youngest boy! Awesome day.

Happy Father's Day guys!

Slow n steady. Well..... Slow anyway. Up to 15 by my count.

Price?

I think it looks good. Definitely on the right track. I do agree with Mandinga, one Higer structure would be pleasing.

My Red Sea kit seems to be pretty much on, other than the mag. Strangely more the API is even closer.

Looks freakin awesome Brian! Very nice work!

Update. So in hesitation of blindly adding Epsom, I was working close to upscales today and took advantage of that by taking water in for testing. Picked up some continuum mag powder to be safer. Not sure how much the 50 gal water change made a difference but they tested everything at Alk 6.5 Cal 480 Mag 1200. Which is way diff from what I had a day prior. I've re-tested with my kits this evening and came up with close Params to these other than cal. Smann posted that your Hanna for cal always tests at 600, which made me think. (Thank you) I tested water from three sources tonight, make up water, display, and qt. All read 600 on the Hanna. I'm pissed. $70 for what? Bad results? I've had this thing a week. Someone's getting chewed on tomorrow! Is it just me or is testing/ trusting a test, seem to be extremely frustrating. I'm currently trying to still bring mag up a bit along with alk. Updates to follow. Exodus, I've read the article before and thank you. Mandinga , thanks for the offer, I may take you up on that soon enough. Extra thanks for all the help from everyone. You guys rock.

Haha. Wanna build my doors? Lol. I've yet to get to my mine.

Way to pay it forward !

Dude! Stupendous work on the stand. It's gorgeous. And the tank looks amazing. I'm jealous.

Did a 50 gal water change today. Hope I can get this high cal low alk thing solved! Not wanting to wait, I've decided to use epsome salts to bring up the mag.

That's freakin awesome!

Where you located? I'll take it.

Could this be why a lot of my corals color seem dull?

Haha. I've only pooped in my tank once. lol. Thanks for the help. I figured mag was a tad low but really wondered if the reactor was to blame as I have it set. I will bring up mag first then bring up alk. Thanks guys.

It's an ultra low phosphorus checker. It's testing for phosphorous not phosphate. Range is 0-200 PPB. Much more accurate. I test every weekend. Alk has always been a bit low as you guessed however the calcium has been on a steady very slow rise. What's best for raising mag?

8. It's parts per billion. The calcium checker is brand new and 4 tests all read the same.
