Trying to figure out if your sump is made of translucent acrylic or you have blurred the equipment, in the pics, to protect the innocent. Seriously, though, I do like the cleanness and simplicity employed. I am curious, do you not run an ATO?

Some updates everything is looking good and thungs have been pretty stable have a wc today and maybe testing but probably not warming up water and mixing now......extension on polyps has been awesome and everything has been in line Gotti (kole tang) has been an a** and might need a timeout for a day...chasing Virginia (firefish) and Pablo (watchman)....but other then that he is starting to get used to the tank in a good way....little to no algae in the tank from him and the cuc makes my job super easy...

Did a 5gal wayer change today and had to raise alk. That seems to be the most consumption right now everything is looking fantastic a few gonis were being finicky so hoping raising the alk will help got another green slimer for a buddy that was coming in today and he told me to keep it as he just lost 3 acros....so i guess this guy is now mine dkh at 7.2 raising in 1 dkh today and then retest in a few to see where we are sitting also will test tomorrow to see if there is any drops.... all in all a very productive morning....now time to relax....

It will probably take a bit for the heads that were shaded out or in the sand to fully recover and settle in. Just keep up on your water, giving them a good environment and you're good!

An easy check to see if your water is actually clear is during a water change, drain 5g into a white bucket and sit it next to fresh salt water in the same bucket.
Imagine that yellowing owner 24 or 72"

Hey Bub… trying to figure out which Lakeland you’re in. I was thinking Texas but hate making assumptions.
