I’m okay with it on the rocks, but would prefer to not have it on the bottom or back glass. I believe it was consuming a lot of the 2 part I was dosing.
This too. I clean it fairly often but would rather have CUC do it.

Not much to update. Here’s a full tank picture I got while it was looking nice after a water change and glass scraping.
I sent out an ICP and weekly 5 gal water changes and dosing the ati 2 part has kept everything in line. I’ll be using those results as a baseline going forward, I expect once some things grow more I may need to supplement some trace. Like I saw iodine and manganese were a bit low. Pretty much been keeping the ATO res topped off, letting the doser do its thing, then doing a weekly water change and testing.

Thanks! I think the bottom is a little sterile looking so I just glued a monti to the bottom glass and will get some more soon. But loving bare bottom now that I made it through the first few months. I just pull a Nero off the wall and blast everything into a corner and siphon it out

Did a water change today and cleaned out some of the back chambers. Water is a little cloudy from stirring that stuff up, but it made for some cool lighting in this picture
I set my lights to the setting Neptune aquatics uses and it is pretty nice for pictures, but I prefer slightly more blue (it hides the algae on the pumps I’ll be cleaning next week)

I can set it whiter and go no filter but that was still with the polyp labs filter lens. I have been trying an app that works okay, but I think the quality is reduced.
Here’s their settings.

I picked up a large Oregon mummy eyes chalice from @bee505. It fills the spot I put it in so I think I’ll try and frag it soon once it’s settled in a bit. Might try to borrow the bandsaw and could make frags for the upcoming swap. Or I’ll let it grow out of control over the bottom since it’s so beautiful.

Tank has been grooving recently. I work on the tank because I want to, rather than a situation requiring me to work on the tank. It has made me appreciate the hobby more than when I was facing issues. I believe I am becoming more patient as I learn.
here are some top down pictures of some of the acros

It’s only 30 gal so I’m going to try adding hermits, some more snails, and another urchin maybe
