Everything looks great, nice new frags additions too. Beautiful. I have found there is always room for one more coral.and congrats on finding something to get that turf algea! Tough stuff!
Yeah. Only thing I found that eats them. They are just slow. So I been adding more and more emeralds slowly.
Update....
since I got rid of all the turf algae, I have a nutrient swing since there is no more algae to absorb all of it. I use to read zero nitrates and phosphates.
Now I’m at 10ppm Nitrates and .021-.031ppm Phosphates. I started back up GFO and Vodka/Vinegar dosing to get nutrients back down.
I had an alk swing and caused all the tips if my corals to burn off. Got things back to somewhat stable and slowly getting it back to 8-8.4 range where I had most my success.
Now onto the pics...
Pics taken with iPhone 7+, icecap orange+yellow filter & fish eye lens. Lights: Blue = 20%, whites & reds = 10%.

Oh. I forgot. I added an MP40 on the opposite ends of my Gyres. Fish loves it!
Nice!!!! Have you fragged any thing?
I only frag when they grow into each other. I’m more focused on a full tank look.
I did make the mistake of breaking some branches of Joe the Coral last night.
Nice, that's a good problem to have.
When I first started this hobby, I couldn’t keep corals for too long... due to lack of patience and understanding stability.
Go slow. Read, research, and ask a lot of questions. Find consistency in people’s experience and you’ll find success in this hobby.
One of my favorite classics.. Copp’s Red Dragon

Added my second elegance since the first is doing so well
That's an awesome coral!
Upgraded skimmers...
From an Eshopps S200 to a Vertex Alpha 200
This thing is massive. Had to rearrange my sump and marinepure blocks but got it in there.

Wrasse is changing to male! Very cool to witness this.
amazing growth, fantastic attention to detail! Keep the pics coming!
Added two MP40’s cause you can never have enough flow and moved the gyres to each end of the peninsula. Amazingly enough was able to get the magnet inside the overflow box.
Maxspect said the magnet is already waterproof, but I vacuum sealed it just to be sure in a food saver.
Added cali tort, pearlberry and a ice fire enchinata, picked up a homewrecker frag as well. Can’t wait for another year of reefing!
