I like the wave maker placement. Now it’s time to sit back and watch it grow.

Thanks Rick. AV’s corals were extremely healthy. Especially the OP and WD.

Jesse, your tank is looking really nice! You got a really nice grab from AV99 - I got some frags from Tim back in March, great quality!

Cheers Rick

The flow is fantastic in the tank. I have Toby to thank for that!

Indeed. Things are actually working the way they are supposed to work with PAR and such. I’m very thankful.

The very top of both columns, with T5’s & LED’s, are 400+. The WD and OP are at about 300-330 and the Efflo on the right is about 450. Sandbed averages about 200 close to the glass.

An update on the 75g. After discussion with Brian about our similar issues and an unassuming ATI test, I decided to follow Brian’s path and started doing 20% water changes weekly. It’s been about 6 weeks and I’ve been seeing great results. I am now leaning towards the problem being a contaminent. Possibly not rinsing all the bleach/acid out of the rock. Some of the older corals are still in rough shape but the newer sticks are really looking good!

Thanks everyone! I’m relieved and excited. It appears that my year and half struggle with sticks may finally be behind me.

Year end update. Tank is doing fantastic. I couldn’t be happier. I have even invested in some really high end sticks and they’re doing great....

Too bad the video doesn’t portray your colors as great as they are in person. Jesse’s tank is truly amazing in person.

I vacuum 1/2 of the sand weekly. Alternating left side then right side. I also have a pink spot goby on the left side of the tank that sifts that side. You can see his gravel slide in front of his cave. He doesnt stray too far from there.
