That is awesome. Great stream quality! What camera/system are you using?
Maybe we should have this months meeting at your house so we can all see this beast of a tankHappy Wednesday !

It’s a Mevo Plus livestream camera, I got it on amazon. Super easy to set up, I recommend
Thank you, still lots of work to be done. But I’m definitely hosting party in 2024

Wow. That's looking good bro 
.
.
I have Bennett dosing 2 table spoons per day of spectracide for the last week or so. Trying to raise my nitrates between 5-10. Also I have completed turned off skimmer last week.
Nitrates are around 5 at the moment
I have been feeding very heavy on dry wood and nori about 3 time per day. Hoping to get nitrates up.
Also been dosing acro power 280ml per day for a week.
My alkalinity been going up and down daily ever seen I put corals in. I’m monitoring it few time a day. Not having Neptune trident I’m forced to do it manually.
I have a strong consideration to buy reefbot, makes all this testing easier. Still trying to figure it out.
Alk is between 7.5 to 8.3 daily
Cal should be on point. I’ll be testing it tomorrow
Mag should be up there in 14-1500 still maybe even 1600 but my snails still alive so all is great
. No algae issues most importantly I’m running calcium reactor daily based on alkalinity tests
Here are couple shots of my temp and alk graph history
So my goldflake angel got a taste for holiberries zoas and are them all within two days. Interestingly other zoas and palys aren’t being eaten yet. I’m crossing my fingers...
This guy...
Some other updates, I’m planning to plumb 100 and 60 gal system into main one and use it for lps coral and anemones tanks.
I’ll be doing that sometime this week.

One thing I’m still doing multiple time per day is alkalinity testing. I have always thought that with so much water alkalinity will be more stable. Man was I wrong...
Testing it 2-4 times per it still jumping up and down, after tunning calcium reactor.
It ranges from 7.2 to 8
Calcium reactor is dropping at about 3 gallons per hour speed. Wild stuff, I’m guessing all the coraline algue growth is consuming all that calcium and alkalinity, along with other bacteria growth. Tank is growing and eating massively !

Pretty amazing. I really need to get out there to see it.
Stop by anytime this week, I’m working on finishing basement.
I’m very excited, I’ve place on order for Reefbot (a birthday gift to myself)
I wonder how quickly I’ll get it.
Also I had to catch filefish and place it in refugium. Turns out it was eating my zoas and started picking at LPS corals too. Originally I thought it may have been angelfish but I was him going at my hammer and zoas today.
Took me good 3-4 hours to catch him...
