Thanks! I always hear this undertone of "you're doing it wrong." when people say that. But I take it as a compliment.
To satiate those pointing out maturity of the tank: I can dose 2ppm of ammonia and have it drop to 0 ammonia/0 nitrite in less than 10 hours.
Plenty of algae on the rocks, but no nuisance algae. I have a huge algae reactor running in a reverse photo period. Also NoPo4-x as well. It is a ULNS for now, though at this point my nitrates are 25ppm and phosphates creeping up to 10ppb, which is why everything looks new.
Also, I haven't added much in terms of livestock, or anything that could've easily brought in any kind of hitchhikers.
My goal is to try to keep out coralline algae (and of course any other nuisances). Snail shell scrubbing, removing frag plugs before adding corals after a solid QT time, etc. I know it's unavoidable, but I've been doing my best.
Back to the anemone eating!
