Two-a-days yet? I remember those days… brutal! What position do you play? I was an offensive tackle back in the day. Played a little 3-technique and nose on defense, but my strength was being a brick wall between the qb and the bad guys

Lol yep just did all of those. Center and nose guard. Getting better by the day etc. your right the goal is to be a brick wall.

Update!
Just got a big snail haul! 3 big top crown specifically eat GHA, 6 margarita snails, some cerith snails and also some that I don't even know what they are. I also consulted with my LFS about a fuge in my Tidal 110 I've consulted with people on here as well. I'm gonna do it! Light will be in soon!

Update once again! Nitrates are now down to 40 about a month ago they were above 100. I need to cut them in half so my corals will be happier. My GHA is also dying!!

My LFS finally got a white tail tang in! That will be the next and biggest addition to the tank along with another clownfish a and a flame angel. As well as a shrimp of somesort. I need coral ideas as well will be keeping you guys updated with the journey. Could also use a recommendation for a outflow guard for my Tidal 110 so I can start my fuge.

Update! Added a red and green pincushion urchin looks beautiful and is helping with cuc already. More top crown snails as well they are getting to work. However I have a semi big one that I put into the tank he was flipped over so I tried to flip him back over as that's what people have told me to do. It took me some time but I eventually got him back upright. He reacted and retracted into his shell but could I have killed him he's just sitting in the sand bed. I was not rough at all with him.

Update:
GHA has officially taken over forcing some of my anenomes to move. I just got done with removing the rest of my bioballs and adding new filter floss carbon and instead of purigen cus I had none I put some extra fluvial quick clear in there. With the removal of bioballs what should I expect? I heard they were nitrate factories. Fuge will be installed soon however does anybody know where I can get a outflow guard so I can make a fuge in my Tidal 110? I want to put this algae through hell and once I'm done with it it'll think twice about coming back to my macro algae powered tank. Worried for sure as my hammer seems to be showing it's skeleton. Will be getting a water test done soon. Is there light at the end of the tunnel or is it all dark will i eventually give up due to GHA?
