Man, your Nuvo 40 makes my Nuvo 40 look like a sump, lol. Your tank is incredible!
Don’t fret, it all comes with time! Thank you for the compliment though! :)

My tank is coming along. It's about a year old.

It's soft and lps dominant but I just started with some easier SPS. I actually just set up a nuvo 20 in my bedroom. I plan on this being an SPS tank. I took a screen shot of your setup so I could get some ideas for coral placement. Again, your tank is beautiful.

I’d say it’s coming along well! Especially for a year! And I’m glad my tank could give you some inspiration :D

I have a question. Do you dose any supplements such as iron to your refugium section to help your chaeto grow?
Not individually. But between the balling method and water changes I’m sure it gets all it needs

So I did a thing! I removed my zoa rock and replaced it with some new frags! I move my sarmentosa and then I was able to snag a nice PC Rainbow and one of my favorites, the Oregon Tort! What do you all think?

That's some white rock! Is it a new piece of rock?
Yes unfortunately that’s all I could get on a moments notice. It’s Marco rock that’s been in a tub of saltwater so I’m hoping there’s at least some bacteria in it. It seems nice and porous so in my tank I’m expecting it to start getting covered with other life shortly!

Congrats on ROTM and the podcast interview. Your tank is very beautiful and inspiring. ROTM has been my goal since I first found out there was such a thing but now that I see they send you a trophy I’m even more motivated! Keep up the good work.
