couple month ago, I overdose on alkalinity, and the corals took a major hit! basically my alk was at 16!! everything mostly died beside the fishes

What the tank used to look like before the crash happen lol.

After month of high alkalinity , the tank is back to normal here a FTS, most of the coral melted away.

Decided to plumb the aqua japan tank into my main dt, using the same sump. I ran a pvc connecting to hang in the back overflow. I believe it is a nano eshopps overflow. Using a vinyl tubing to connect to my return pump also added a ball valve to increase or decrease the return output.

Cover the ugly pipe work, I added a nightstand.

Decided to plumb the old japan aqua into a frag tank, I ran some pvc pipe connecting to hang in the back overflow into my main tank, use vinyl tubing for the return.

Last week stop by @Mr V house’s to check out his amazing tank and his amazing collection of sps!! End up buying RR lady in pink and ASD red table! @Mr V is very generous with his cut! Look how chunky it is. If you guys happen to be around California in the oc area you should hit him up.

Had to move the tank to a different room, went to target to buy plastic containers. First step drain the water out and net the fish.
1st container were for the livestock and 2nd container were for the live rock. Also I removed all the sand so now the tank is bare bottom!
