Wanted to share my tank. I have a very hands off approach and let nature take its course. I let corals duke it out for space, unless if they’re touching my clam. If you live in Alabama and want free frags/corals let me know.

Icecap algae turf scrubber
2x eheim heaters
Varios 4 return
Hydros XP8
Hydros X10
Duetto ATO
4x AI Prime 16 (should’ve just got 2x Hydras)
2x AI Nero 3
Maxspect XF330 Gyre
Sicce SDC 8000 powerhead (located in sump)
Cal: 430
Mg: 1500
Nitrate: undetectable
Phosphate: undetectable
All for Reef: 30mL/day
BRS Soda Ash: 40mL/day
I rarely test for Nitrate/phosphate, can’t remember the last time I did. Currently have a slight turf algae growth in display which may explain why I’m reading zero. I’ve always kept alkalinity on the lower end since the beginning. I’ve attempted to raise it to 8.5 dkH over the course of a week and majority of the corals got very big mad. Ever since then I’ve kept it where they like it. Oh yea and I use reef crystals salt. I’ll typically do 5 gallon WC weekly.
