yes but i don't think the light is to blame. i did however crank it down a few weeks ago...

trouble in paradise has continued so last night i gave the system a massive shot to the arm. 90g water change which meant there was only about 20g left in the tank. was pretty nerve-wracking but i was able to clean my sump and reset all my water. i've suspected my issues lie with elevated chloride levels due to all the magnesium dosing i've been doing. that and low or high levels of things i cannot measure.

so far the 3 pieces of sps that were looking really rough continue to do so but at a glance the rest of the tank looks like the day before. fingers crossed. i might have to get even more extreme and invest in a prayer reactor.

I have a spare if you want to borrow one. Sending reef prayers your way!

Things are slowly looking a bit better in the tank but my sps has a really long way to go before I'd call it colourful.

Earlier this week when it looked like I'd have to sell my leopard wrasse because it was being bullied I actually stole back the little frag tank I'd bought for the 404 build from my buddy. He built an 8 foot frag tank for the 404 so he didn't mind too much lol. I was going to try and keep her in this tank since I'm really attached.

Turns out the wrasses are both getting along again perfectly. No idea what that was all about. I went and setup the tank anyways! I stuffed it under the freebie cabinets I tossed up in the basement. This is beyond ghetto. I'm pretty damn proud of it

Nice work....

Looks like the build quality on your tank stands has dropped just a touch lol. I still think your 3 part doser shelf from the last build has this beat hands down though in the ghettoness department.

My regal tang that now resides in Concept's FOWLR 16" display tank ate my whole colony of organ pipe. Just another reason he had to move out.

Nice coral Brett!

Thanks. I wish I still had that pipe organ you gave me that hitch-hiked in with one of your coral orders. I think it's the same one you lost to the tang... it was really nice too.
