How did those numbers compare to the seneye?

To be honest pretty close, the seneye was a bit more sporadic due to more flow but still within range

Added my final 2 fish to my tank. The tank is now fully stocked, only registering .02 phosphate and 0 nitrates hopefully this addition will get the numbers slightly higher so I don't have to dose. After roughly 4.5 months, next week I will finally begin stocking coral.

4.5 Months in and I have my first tester coral. I purchased a blue/green candy cane LPS coral from fish of hex, super excited to finally place a coral in the tank!

Just an update on the Red Sea 260, tank is doing fairly well. I'm mostly happy with how things are going. Having a small battle with dinos due to the fact my nutrient level keeps bottoming out. In retrospect I should not have placed the gfo reactor until I absolutely needed it. I've lost one fish to date due to an unknown ailment, but all other fish look very active and healthy. Parameters seem to stay stable. My small stock list of coral are doing well.

So here is my tank update at the 7 month and 23 day mark. Its been a lot of work and difficult at times but I love it. I recently won a battle with dinos and for a first time reefer I'm excited about that. I currently have no algae in the tank which is a first. My parameters are nice and stable and I got my first acro. I have a UV sterilizer I purchased from BRS im going to put on the back of the tank. The fish are all alive and healthy.
