About the skimmer too. It's your cement. If you glued anything to that is it. Mines been doing it for about a week now. Just cemented my corals down. There all starting to grow so I decided it time. And now my skimmer is just over flowing. Anytime this week it should be back to normal for me

I said I stock the tank 2 months ago. Well, I lie.[emoji28]
I had a huge algae outbreak right after that post. Phosphate must leak out from the rock. I didn't cure them before put in the tank. Indeed, I didn't even wash them! [emoji28]
Anyway, the algae are gone (almost) so I decide to put some frags in to see how they do in the new tank.
Walt Disney change its color to green (my wd colony doesn't have any green. The frag was pink when I put it in) and doesn't have full polyps extension. I can tell that it's not happy!
"No named" yellow tenuis. It's green now, but it suppose to be...yellow. [emoji19]
This one is doing good. Polyps fully out.
"No name" acro comes from Coralnerd yesterday.
This time, I try not to glue acros on the rock work.
Beside that, I am having a green slime algae problem. They are all over the rock-work and sand bed.
Any idea best way to get rid of them???[emoji26]
Fishes: I am not proud. In fact, I killed almost the whole tank population due to some diseases. They had something like bacteria infection and dead. Every time I add a new fish (anthias, wrasses,...), they have the same symptom and gone in 2~3 days! [emoji27]
I am thinking of getting a uv light. Anyone can recommend me on this? I've never have one before.
Only 4 fishes left, but luckily they are doing very good. Healthy and no sign of disease on them.

Hey. I think that there is a process of maturation of the system, especially on dry stones. I see cyano and diatoms of algae. Perhaps bacteria and time will help. Everything should stop. But I would not use a UV device. This is just my opinion. Successes.
Your build inspired a lot of what went into my build. I ended up curing my pukani for just a little over a week and used lanthum chloride and water changes to remove a lot of the phosphate. The rock has been in my tank for a few weeks now and I algae out break other than the normal diatoms after cycling. Your tank still looks great I can't wait to see future updates

Been 2 weeks since I add the first corals, all doing good so I decide to add another pack.
Most of them are new pieces I recently acquired so forgive me if the color are not dialed in! [emoji28]
Other corals are from my 45 gallons system, I don't need to tell, you will recognize them...by the color and sizes.
Old school Ora Pearlberry
Bc Battle juice
Rr Angry Bird
Rr Pink Floyd : @Smite this is the one branch that survive when the colony die.
Asd Doomsday
No name. (Please help me identify it if you see it familiar! Thanks)
Rr Pink cadillac
Sc Orange passion
Rr Lady in Pink
Asd Strawberry wine
Yellow acro, no name (Please help me identify it if you see it familiar! Thanks)
Used to be no name, but now it is MrV's Biohazard! [emoji28]
Rr Rainbow Blossom
Rr the Vinh
Asd sweet tort
Rr Pretty in Pink.
Enjoy the night view!!!
I haven't test for no3 on this tank yet. Last time I test for po4 on this tank, it was 0.01ppm (Hana Phosphorus checker)
I have no idea what are the numbers on the 45 Gallons! [emoji28]
Luckily the owner of the "store" let me cut whatever I want in this tank for free.[emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]

It's time to stock up the tank with sticks!
Luckily, the best sps store in town is in walking distance! [emoji4]
What store do you go to for your sps?
