No nems allowed in this tank, I've had enough coral deaths over the years to never keep them again outside of a dedicated tank!

Some time lapse shots. The SPS have been picking up growth really fast, puddling out, and branching. I'm realizing the overlap of the lights means I need to boost the side lights and possibly drop the middle slightly to get better PAR where I need it.
Also the shots are from different times of day, otherwise colors look better now too. However still getting cyano since my nitrates are low.
Lost one torch on the left side unfortunately. However everything else is still kicking.
Finally getting my alk over into the 7.0 range from 6ish post vacation. It took increasing dosing about 3x from what I was using before.
Plan is to order some ammonium carbonate or potassium nitrate as well and figure out a dosing strategy. Feeding 7x a day even with 16 fish isn't enough. I've got the butterfly and tang growing up in the nano and three more anthias on the way.
