You bought 10 boxes of their sand? No wonder they are always sold out haha. Looks good!

Looks good, but if you have 30lbs of live sand in there I hope it’s in water by now.
Also, what are the dimensions of that tank?

No worries, and agree. Just added two boxes myself; the only annoying thing was to remove all filtration for 48 hours. I add this once a year.

AquaForest AF Rock

Nice scape! Really keep an eye on the alk levels of your tank when using this rock new. You may not need to supplement alk for a while.

Thanks for the heads up, this is my second go using this AF Rock , I did plunge it in RODI for a couple days to avoid this issue as in my last tank it shot up to 12.

12 was the number I saw for several months. Good idea using the rodi.

Changed Out My XR15 for Reefi Uno 2.1 Pro I don’t regret it. A lot less shading and par is Holly crap out of the roof.

Nice light choice! I'd be careful at first since I've noticed I've had to acclimate corals going into my systems likely due to the high levels of violet and UVA that other lights don't have (note the ReeFi has 16 UVA diodes while the XR30 only has 6). So start everything low if you're running the typical built in "LPS" schedule. For your trachy, maybe give it a little more shade or run the acclimation program if you see it lightening up.

Thanks for the heads up , I’m running thing relatively low , only maxing about about 74watts at peak giving me about 90 par at the bottom and about 160 up top but even then running a 90 day acclimation staring at 70% I get my frag in two weeks so will restarting that acclimation period.
