I cleaned the glass and added some purigen/carbon to the tank to crack down on some stray TDS... My RO filters were all totally expired and were poisoning my Acros.

What do you use now? In one of my sumps i used to use the little green sponges you can
get at the dollar store. I'll see if I can find a picture.

always interested to hear what others are doing even if its super minor.... I bought a new 5 stage RO/DI unit. been using gallon jugs from Walmart and I believe is one of the causes of my algae breakout.. don't have proof but regardless still good to have..

Water change and cleaning pumps

Shaked the fridge phyto, fed the pods three times, and gave some Rods Reef to the main displays inhabitants. I'm going mandarin shopping this week. I have confirmed pods in the display, and 4x 2g cultures of three strains popping off.

Added branching Cypastrea, orange galaxea, and a blasto.
