Just another update.

Well I can say the tank is on the road to recovery, and corals keep getting better.

Since the last update I made a couple other changes:

- Firstly I removed the deep sand bed (DSB), and just have live rock in the refuge area. It was quite nasty when I removed it, so most likely a big nitrate maker and poison to the tank.

- Also last week I tried something... I use a Mag18 return pump running full blast, so water drains, goes through the refuge/sump and back into the display rather quickly. I reduced flow to about 20-30% of what the return pump does, using the return plumbing valves, thus really slowing down flow into the overflows and then to the sump to a much slower flow, not a gush anymore. Well it seems that the 2 skimmers, LR, Pellets in the sump have more contact time on that water, and therefore the returning water in the display tank is much cleaner. things I notice are other corals that were not showing good results/healing are now, any foam in the bubbletraps that was forming isn't now, and overall tank quality/water quality is even better.

Yippeeeee!!!! keep the good stuff coming. Hopefully soon, I will be hitting everyone up for new corals to replace my losses.
