Today was water change and testing day. Tank is looking pretty ugly. Lots of cyano on the sand and rocks.
I picked up a mini gravel vac, worked great to clean up the sand a bit.
Don't have much of a positive update on the corals, unfortunately. So far I have lost my 3 sps corals, my largest acan and a green toadstool.
My remaining 2 acans are doing alright. One likes to be all closed up one day and happy the next. The other always seems fine. Still struggling with my frogspawn and the Kenya tree seems to be loving things... At least something grows for me.
Fish are happy and doing well.
Since I lost all my sps I have decided to make this tank a LPS focused tank. I figured they are a little easier and I could use some coral wins to build off of for when I can set my 75 gallon up again.
I changed the light settings on the radion to the coral labs LPS/soft setting at 30% brightness.
If anyone has any advice on a successful LPS tank I am open to hearing it!
