Are you running bio pellets in the spyglass reactor?

No. Pho Minus and Carbon from Aqua Forest. Im using their products and they do not recommend bio pellets while dosing their products

No updates yet. Everything still same doing good alittle diatom bloom but. NOthing out of ordinary. Setup GHL Doser 2 and containers. Changed out my lights under sump to some led pucks that change color pretty cool. Much better than that rechargeable motion sensor one i had. Couldnt pick up coral this last week but planning on this Saturday start stocking up slowly.
Thanks for asking.

Finally added some coral that a friend was watching for me when my old tank crashed. Few that i was able to salvage. Looks like they are recuperating. They were in bad shape.

Been slowly stocking up. Looking to do a zoa garden on that smaller rock and maybe acans. Not sure yet. Didnt have luck with them first time around. Maybe mushroom garden on two bottom rocks and zoas on top rocks. Want to put some sps on that big rock on upper portion and not sure what to do on bottom racks. Scolys, plates and pectinia on sand bed.

Changed my scape up a bit. Added ceramic from Alternative Reef. Like it much better. Much neater look has holes for frag plugs.

Thanks man!
I really dig it too. Just need to move those mag rocks around a bit. Maybe stick the zoa one on the overflow.
These lights are amazing. The growth is insane. My favias have grown more in these few months than the whole last year. Not sure if its lights or the Aquaforest method or combo of both but something is tight
