I’ll try and get this updated by the weekend and new pictures. Left for a week and the tank ran smoothly aside from losing a royal gramma and my regal angel. Corals are thriving like crazy. I started dosing microbacter7 weekly after each water change and it keeps the algae under control and I hardly have to clean my glass anymore. 
 

Did wake up this week to a snail eating flatworm about 5” in length munching on an astrea snail. He was quickly removed and I hope he was a lone flatworm. I haven’t added anything new in a few months so he must have came in super tiny on a frag and survived the dip. 
 

New frag racks are being built for the frag tank. Back row will hold 3” grow out tiles which I will begin to focus on growing out some nicer pieces for a future build in the new house.

Those racks are sweet! 

They are being shipped in the day or two so I’ll have them early next week hopefully. I ordered some cheap jebao power heads which actually put out some serious flow. One on each side of the tank and then the cross flow I currently have will be under the racks to prevent anything from settling.

Finally got the camera tube and filters in so I’ll get some better pictures soon. 
 

Also have been working on some acrylic pieces. Wanted to find a container to dose trace elements, no pox, and amino acids from and couldn’t find what I liked so I’m making matching Neptune style containers. Will build 2 total for 6 containers that hold about 600ml each.

Been neglecting my tank and projects to work on others but I’m going to get my new dosing containers up and running this weekend. CO2 reactor is running and the 1/2” lines really helped with proper airflow to the skimmer. The frag tank is finally thinned out after the cinci show so I can focus on some higher end pieces to grow out.
