It's been a few months since the last update. The tank is still going well. Coraline is starting to take off, so I need to start scraping the glass instead of just hitting it with the mag float. The GSP are spreading again and one of my mushrooms split.

It's really odd, but it seems like when the GSP is doing well, the zoas don't, and when the zoa's are doing well, the GSP doesn't.

The temps started dropping again, so I had to make some quick changes to the water storage outside. I finally got a second pump installed on the fresh water tank in a closed loop to keep water circulating in it. It was 40º outside when I started working on it, so I threw it together pretty quickly. I'll be making a quick arduino setup with a relay for turning the pumps on/off when the air gets below freezing. Right now I have to manually run outside and turn the pumps on.

Nothing else on the tank itself has changed. I still haven't finished the Kalk reactor, and I still want to replace the skimmer with a better one.

Mostly just enjoying watching the fish grow. Here's some quick pics and a video of the starfish turning itself over and another video of a feeding time:
