I have just finished reading your entire thread. I have also watched all your Youtube videos. I was astonished that in two of the videos one person did not like what s/he watched. I sometimes find it difficult to figure out people's thinking.
You have an awesome tank. It sets a very high standard. It is a kinda benchmark for a SPS tank. I like its simplicity too. I have two questions: when you removed siporax, did you notice any change in nitrate levels? I have a large siporax media in my sump. The only way to find out if it is doing anything is to remove it, but if it is, then it may be too late to put it back in the sump again without some loss in bacterial population. I would be interested in your thought on this. What is your current alkalinity? Cheers

Hey thanks for the tip. I just messed around with Camera+ and shot a few pics in RAW, and then edited them on the camera+ app. They turned out really nice. I’m gunna start messing with it and see if I can’t get some better pics. |

Alk stays around 7-8. I don’t think I had enough siporax to really made an impact. They started collecting a lot of detritus, so I just pulled them out. |

Cool. Crazy colonies you have.
What does the app do? Fix white balance?

Something like that. Basically it’s like a gel filter with out using a gel filter. Not sure it was worth $3, but I wanted to try it out. I haven’t been able to get decent pics with my iPhone XS. My old iPhone 7 with a gel filter took perfect pics. I did just buy a new gel filter that covers both cameras on the new phone, maybe that will help. This is what it looks like |

Last week I took my canopy down and replaced all my T5 bulbs. Snapped some top down pics while it was off.
It’s crazy to see these colonies from top down. I didn’t even realize how big they are. They are def outgrowing the tank. I’m gunna buy a hand saw and try to cut bigger pieces, cuz my fish are running out of room to swim. Hahaha |
