Side view pic looks pretty much the same so here’s a top down progress shot. The mini head on the far right got eaten by amphipods, but it looks like there is another head growing at the top left now - addition by subtraction I guess. No other corals have been affected by the amphipods so far...

Maybe try this roller mat/protein skimmer combo? Looks pretty interesting: https://smarterreefs.com/products/2-in-1-auto-roller-mat-auto-protein-skimmer

You could try using a dryer vent cleaning kit to clean your pipes if you don't want to disassemble your plumbing. Probably works best with new/clean plumbing and done on a regular basis, don't think it would be strong enough to knock off stuff with a hard shell like feather dusters, etc.

Do you have any Collonista snails? I got a crap ton of those in my tank I can get if you want.

Someone went overboard with their frag growout contest entry: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c629ddqg9v6o

How is the overflow setup and loudness? Have you been having to adjust the gate valve a lot at all? Any concern with the check valve on the return line and how to clean it, since it looks like it is inside the ATO reservoir?

It won't let me copy and paste for some reason, but there is a section on loss of flow in this article: https://www.reefaquarium.com/2012/aquarium-plumbing-basics/

I agree with raising your magnesium since magnesium helps prevent the excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate. Test alkalinity on Day 1 at a certain time. Test alkalinity on Day 2 the same time as Day 1. The difference between the two you could call your daily alkalinity consumption...

Did you dump it in all at once or spread the dosing out? Adding too fast can cause precipitation which could explain the "consumption". Also, if you have coralline algae taking off, that could explain some of the consumption.

Reef tank ADU?

You da man!

When you get a chance can you do a test of just Meso Blue Helix, just Reef Crest Daylight Helix, and then one of each (supposed to be similar to AB+ with one of each) and your opinion on the color of each of those light combos?

Saw some threads on R2R, sounds like the Mobius cloud was down.

I put one of these small cheapo pumps in a section of my AIO because the water movement was on the slower side and there was a film starting to build on the surface. I'm trying to think long term and am wondering if this cheap pump might have the potential for leeching metals because of low...

Hahah! Looking forward to the rest of the story.

After you raised your alk to the desired number last time, did you stop dosing the ESV alk?

The flow looks ok to me in the 25% video. What's your phosphate right now? A few weeks ago you said you were getting .01, maybe dose just phosphate instead of feeding heavier since your nitrates are already high? I think your crushed coral substrate is also fairly new, so that could be a...

I think it's @gatohoser, I believe @ReyDeFarts distributed a bunch of goldenrod anacropora from him not too long ago. That's a nice write up in R2R, awesome looking tank and setup.

I can't make it unfortunately, have plans already. Was hoping someone could pickup a couple fish for me.
