The most immediate upgrades will be adding one or two mp10s, a dosing pump, and a fuge or algae scrubber. Eventually I want to change the valve on the return line but that's not super high on the list.

Posted updated shots in my original post. Of course the neon toadstool decided to (I think) start shedding today . It’s one of my favorite corals I’ve had so far.

Next steps:

1. Picking up two MP10QDs tomorrow. Probably overkill, but I’m a sucker for deals and they came together lol. Gotta decide on placement/if I’m going to use both. Aesthetics wise I’d like them on the back but if I do two I’m thinking facing each other is probably best. Planning on a mixed reef—majority will be softies/lps on the bottom portion and sps on the top part of the arch.
2. Get all the corals off the sand bed. Most of them have been on the sand for over a month. Partially because of laziness and partially because I can’t decide on placement, especially the toadstool. First I’ve got to get it off the rock it came on and then I’m thinking bottom left??

new nem

 

[fishguy242]

hi, nice nem,i think you might want to move that monti a little further away from the acan

 

[Jreefs]

Yeah that was just temporary. Traded the acan and planning on mounting the Monti on the left

Great looking fts bud.

If its available, try to find an adjustment for "tint" and bring it up to flush out the reds. If u dont have that option, u may find a preprogrammed, preset filter that comes in ur photo editor mode standard. There will be many to choose from, try to find one that reduces to reds perhaps.

Thanks! Adjusting the tint and warmth helps a lot.
