Mid-Year tank progress! Let's see your growth!

Yes- It keeps my levels such as nitrate and phos in check and replenishes traces used my coral in which I have many. I also increased flow which made a difference with my SPS
I only spend 8-10 mins a day doing this
Im always messing with flow in my little tank. I have two spinstreams and two nero 3's that I have set to 50% max with random flow. Seems like a bit but im never sure. Its just a IM 25g lagoon so I can overdo the flow real easy.
 
I’ve had a few setbacks this year but I’ll bite.

:disappointed-face: I just took this photo. looking sad, cant keep and nitrates or phosphates in the water. But hopefully can post a new pic when things HOPEFULLY turn around. Dont have a pic of the fluval 13.5 anymore since I've just got this WB up and going for close to a month now.

Lots of changes. Rehomed the damsels and Dottyback . Added 2 wrasses and a Mandarin. Lots of coral added and some actual growth as well Added live rock. Some corals like my large toadstool (died this past week) are no longer with the tank. Anyways here’s

Corals look happy . If low phos is not causing problems, youre ok

Complete turnaround- Very nice
 
actually the corals are looking lame, the zoas and mushrooms are hardly opening up. The lights just did start to ramp up though.
Assure moderate light and flow and add iodide and iron at 5-6 drops twice a week and should perk them up. Occasional GENTLE bursts with a turkey baster to remove sediment off of them also helps
