Quick update on the tank, along with a question.







I did some cleaning up under the tank. I still haven't dealt with the cord mess, because the plan is still to move the sump to the basement (sooner, rather than later) and I don't want to spend a ton of time relocating and organizing cords, when many of them are heading downstairs soon.

I've added a few fish and some corals. I have the Kessils maxing out around 50% at peak and am slowly ramping them up. The T5s run from 10-4 daily.

Chemistry is staying pretty consistent. I am still dosing two part (via B-Ionic for now) by hand (20 mls daily, as there is not a ton of demand). I picked up a Hanna Phosphorus checker ULR, and it P04 tested out at .045 ppm.

I am experiencing browning on the SPS that is in the tank, with poor polyp extension. I don't think it is Phosphate, so is this just a normal part of an immature system? I am still getting some diatoms on the glass, sand and rocks.
