Is that GSP just dominating the back wall/overflow?

Yes it covered the whole over flow box . I don't allow it on the rock work. I keep peeling it when it gets close

Everything in the tank looks happy... Corals are awesome and colorful which we all strive to achieve. If i missed it I am sorry, but what lights are you currently using and what are you feeding your corals ?

Thank you. I'm using 400 watt radiums with 4 t5 supplement lights. I don't feed corals directly. I just feed fish and add amino acid twice a week. I keep my po4 between 0.05 and 0.15 and hardly ever check my nitrates although when I do it's always around 5. I add different strains of bacteria once a week and I do 5 ml of Red Sea nopox. I always aim for steady alk.

Great tank! Maybe i will be there one day.. LOL.. I use 250 watt Radium and t-5's myself. I recently had a dosing timer stay on and my alk shot up to 10.5. I was lucky and caught it before it emptied the container. What dosing pumps do you use ? I am looking for one that is reliable. Thanks

I have a cal reactor for alk mag and cal but I do test the alk every day almost causevfir sps it is the most important. For dosing trace elements and nopox I use ghl profilux. They are very reliable.

Thank you. Your tank can look as good as any ones, stay focused and deciplined. It's a simple hobby but we like to complicate things. Most of my corals are from reefers on the hobby some from here on reef to reef and some from local stores.
