Ooh, sounds interesting. Please share when ready!

I definitely will, but it'll probably be 2 to 4 years before my boss retires and I take over for him lol. (Fingers crossed for 2 )

getting there!!!!

 

[Brian W]

Clearing up well! Need to make a magnetic algae scraper now.
Added 2 Red Monti caps and an ORA Green Birds nest

The good news is it cleared up nicely and looks great. The bad news is you'll never get any work down now that you have that to look at!!!

Went ahead and added a yellow clown goby this past Saturday.
So far he likes to perch on the green digitata and the magnet cleaner.

A little better pic of him.

What’s your secret for sps? I can barely get any to grow in my 4g pico. Lps and softies explode, but sps is not happy. I do a bi-weekly 1/3 water change, even have a small fuge in back for nutrient export. A80 with spectral controller. ATO of course. Little frustrated with the sps issues. I’ve tried two different salts

 

[Brian W]

I started the pico with some media that has been in my 40 gallon reef tank for a little while over a year. Rocks have also been in there just as long.
I'm only keeping digitata in here which is an easier sps than acro or any other sticks.
I top off every other day with just a jug of rodi water.
I do 1 gallon water change weekly on this 2.2 gal pico.
Not sure that there is any secret to it, maybe Im lucks so far.
I use an AI Prime light with the blues all the way up and all other colors at 0%

I kind of wish I went with a prime hd then my A80 Kessil with controller. I have a prime on my 14. Great light

RIP yellow goby. He is no longer in the tank...just disappeared overnight.

 

[Brian W]

Little tank is doing good!
