Awesome, like to see pictures.All right after making the decision to do an upgrade transfer on the IM 14 Peninsula I settled on the IM Fusion Pro 25 Lagoon.
This wasnt a full reset but is an upgrade. I dont have the space to cycle a new tank, so I researched other methods of upgrading and what I found was to move all liverock and as much of the water from old tank to new tank and not increase bio load for a while.

Water
Premixed from lfs as my water where I live is so bad using an ro system would cost me a fortune in resin cartridges
Top off water is to water that I test for impurities from walmart. So far I've havent got a single batch that was no good. If you have crappy water like me it is a great way to save a few bucks on to water.

Here is some new pics i just tookAwesome, like to see pictures.
Yeah i went with 4 independent islands of varying heights. I originally had am arch in the back but it stuck out of the water and blocked the flow off of the water returns.I like how your rock work has little canyons between it, it looks very cool! I also have the IM 25 and love it!
I have to buy my water from an lfs, no rodi system at the house and havent bothered buying one. Planning on getting one soon as we added a water softner that has helped make our water drinkable. I tested the home water for hardness before the softner and it went over what the test could handle now its 0.Your tank is looking more algae free it seems. Good thing. Seems like you are making progress on the algae issue.
You might want to check your water TDS level just incase. It may not show on test kits. I had someone going through similar algae issue on the forum and I asked about checking their water filters and turned out they did not replaced their filters and TDS was extremely high. Anyway something to considered if you have not already.
