Hey all, so I thought I would get rid of this tank but I changed my mind and started to do work on it. The tank has been up and running for about 1.5 years it started with a purple tang, Melanurus Wrasse and a bird wrasse. But it got Dinos around the 6-8 month mark and I just transferred the fish to my big tank and did lights off and no water changes till about 3 weeks ago!
I did a 90% WC and turned on the lights and all was well! I have loaded the tank up corals that are all thriving and doing well. At this point the tank is maintaining ALK with KALK in the ATO, and a weekly 5 gallon WC using Red Sea Blue bucket. I also took out one of the filter socks and added a filter cup and tossed in Chemiclean Blue that I change out once a month, I dose 1 drop of Iodine daily and Brightwell Aquatics Amino Acid daily 1 drop

Did a 5gal WC today, after WC I noticed my WWC Yellowtips was slimming up on one side and a saw a mucus web. So once I saw that I pulled it out and saw two massive Vermited on it so I cut them off completely and tossed the colony back in the tank its ticked off atm but I am sure it will be feeling much better soon!
 
Also I have increased the MP40WQD to 45% on Reef Crest mode, no sand is being blown around so I'm kind of amazed but love it I'm anywhere from 20X to 90X for flow!
