I agree with Mike's comment about this! Actually scratch that, either way I need more!
Lost a green monti cap, the palmer's blue mili and a torch. Couple others started to go but for the most part they're all coming back around!

Things have stabled out, looks like things starting to grow again.
Doing a little rescaping, got rid of the big rock on the bottom where the acans are now, going to replace it with some branch rock I got that will reach higher and be closer to the light so I can get some light on the acros, then move the gyre over so that I can get some more flow there as well.
Here are the branch pieces, still gotta glue them together and figure out exactly how to best position them in there

Got the new branch tree in to get some coral higher up, debating moving my euphyllia up a little higher to make more room on the sand bed for the scans and chalices, but unsure if the hammer and frogspawn can handle the higher par. Might try and move up one or two and see how they do
Got an early Christmas present from my neighbor @jhuynh in the form of a bunch of new sps.

Can I be your neighbor too?

Thanks @nly04 for the co2 scrubber and media. I had borrowed the club's co2 meter because my ph was hovering around 8 and dipping down a bit below that at night. I left the meter running for about a week and it hovers around 500-800 ppm in the room and usually maxes out at around 1000 so I thought that may be why.
Rigged up a little splitter and some leftover tubing from my dosing pump to have two lines going in since that how my skimmers silencer is set up.
Terrible blurry photo but that is the input, I so far have not done recirculating since it seems the media will last longer this way.
So far in the last 4 days or so of it being set up my ph now is around 8.3 during the day and 8.1 at night so definitely an improvement.

After using the par meter I found the settings on my lights I wanted to aim for, took a picture of the par values, the numbers are the various channels on my lights followed by the percentage intensity level. I got the numbers from what they recommend for my tank size and tweaked them a little to get a color spectrum I liked
I am currently ramping up to these value over a few weeks, going up by about 10% on each channel per week. I am currently at 50% max intensity, going to raise it to 60% today. I also took par values with all the channels at 100% so there is room for higher par if needed
