Finally was able to get a few new pictures up--- Getting used to this Sony camera with a 60mm Macro lens. Huge difference versus the Nikon with a tamaron 90mm macro--- Still need to figure out the white balance but overall I am very happy with the ease of shooting with the Sony A7R II.
As for the tank itself--- I have began dosing red sea A and B as I cant seem to get my Dastaco dialed in and running consistently. It will run fine for a bit then I will get an alarm. I have pulled back heavily on my feeding (Specifically taking my automatic feeder off) to try and reduce some algae that was appearing. Recently, I have battled diatoms but with the advice from a fellow reefer (shout out to bubba) I have put a UV sterilizer on my tank. I did not identify the strain of diatoms but they have since retreated as soon as I put it on--- it is tricky trying to get the flow right because i have it plumbed to my chiller. Once that issue receded I had a touch of Cyano which I used chemiclean and Dr. Tims Waste Away to try and clear up. It definitely helped but getting my Nitrates and Phosphates back in line was another issue.
Tank continues to run fairly well minus a few algae issues and fluctuating parameters. Trying to dial it in now!
