Default Big tank

While on vacation my apex crashed and pushed all my dosing chems in at once until empty. All fallbacks on the apex were ignored. I came home to a lot of coral death. Fish all survived but had a 90% loss of coral. The coral death spurred uncontrollable nutrients which brought on algae. I spent much of a year battling that and recently vibrant has helped me regain control but it has incurred rampant cyanobacteria. I'm finally in the stages of re-populating the corals from frags. Levels are not perfect yet but working on it.

Wasn't sure I could come back from losing so much but trying to look forward to my growing tank again.
