Thanks guys. Alk is dropping and everything is lookin a thousand times better since dosing chemi clean. I don't know what it changed in my system besides the cyanobacteria but wow. My cheato is growing great but I'm still getting a mat of green hair algae on top of it though.

Great news, Brandon. Let's hope your tank will remain cyano free for a long time.

I snapped a crappy picture with my phone down in my frag tank as the colors are just starting to come around. I also tested my nitrates and they are between 5 and 10.

I'm real happy with the way everything is progressing with my system. Chemi clean is amazing. I am no longer dosing vinegar as I don't need it with my cheato growing. Nitrates around between 5 and 10 but I am horrible at the color chart below that with salifert. Maybe I'll try the red sea kit to see if I can find a more exact number. I haven't tested po4 lately but it was .03 Color is great and returning to everything but the growth is what is incredible right now. I'm planning on bringing my kalkwasser online because I've never used it and want to incorporate it before the demand gets to high. I'm keeping my alk above 7 and shooting for 7.8 roughly.
This past weekend my local saltwater hobbyists club put on our biannual fragswap. I got to chat up Jason fox during setup. He's a real nice guy with some amazing coral but most is to expensive for me right now. I did get a nice piece of his punk anacapora though. I also picked up JF barney and RR angry birds from another vender in a trade. I was upset because the angry birds rtned over night but I knew it was going to happen as it only had an ounce of two of water in the bag. It got cold. I floated it for an hour before dipping. Oh well love and learn. I wasn't thinking when he handed me the bag.

Thanks. Reef Raft Pink Floyd. Is one of my favorites.
Here are some more pictures from last night. The stark white one is reef raft pink cadillac. It had been lost in the sand for over 2 weeks. I found it and laid it on the frag rack and low and behold it isn't dead. I hope it makes a complete recovery. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Nice.
I love that blue purple piece as well. I wish I could make a Pink Floyd live and grow in my tank. In all of the years my tank has been running, I have never been able to keep one happy. Your colors are lookin’ good!!

My life has been crazy busy the last couple of weeks and there isn't an end in sight. I've got into a bit of rythm with the tank and it's gong well. I've had to increase the flow on my calcium reactor so life is good. The color is pretty good. Pink could be better in a couple pieces. I need to get some Rodi filters as my tds is up to 3.

The blue frag looks very promising.

Thanks. The 2 blues are blue matrix and Oregon tort.
Thank you. Quote:
Getting rid of cyano was the best thing for my system. I think you are referring to the splindid dotty back.

I just spent the last hour and a half with my arm in the tank mounting a bunch of coral. I also managed to get the ugly frag rack removed.
Here are some unedited pictures of the results. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
