It show! Holly mackerel. Your rock flower is really awesome looking. I've been wanting on. Does it keep that red when the blue light aren't on?

hmm, I do not know, but I do like how it doesnt move around. I placed it on a rock right out in the front and it has stayed there ever since.

So, I've been using the ATI essentials for a week now.
The stability is amazing!
Alk, cal, mag all have not changed and I have tested every day for a week. I will start to expand my testing unless I introduce more coral.

Ahh I forgot to update! I removed the 1k gyre. It was way to powerful for the nuvo 20. I got a mp10 and it is a lot more mellow. I figured out a pulsing and it works wonderfully.

Im really liking that setup. Would like to add a nem for my clown but afraid that the other inhabitants will swim in it.

i believe the fish will stay out of the nems.

Where do you have the icecap gyre in the tank? I've been looking to get one on my nuvo 20 but have been wondering if it'll fit where I want it, which is up top.

It was to strong on the lowest setting. Ended up selling it and got a mp10
