Your doing a good job, everything is growing nicely. Consider getting some Chemiclean in there to nip that cyano bacteria in butt before it gets out of hand.
I’ve been so consumed with coral problems I haven’t been able to discuss my little cyano outbreaks. What does Chemiclean do Brian?

I will second the chemiclean recommendation. I used chemiclean and a 2 day blackout twice a year on my last tank and it stayed pretty much cyano and algae free.

Quick update, it's amazing to see the progress of the birdsnest with this budget all in one.  Everyone dogs the stock lighting of this tank, I argue otherwise.

6 month update.  I need to tackle the diatom situation, hopefully a wavemaker corrects this.  I think my flow at the substrate level is far too low?

Looking really good. For your first reef aquarium, you are killing it. You haven't even lost a single coral. That is the real beauty.

A quick June update, be sure to change settings on the YouTube video player to play in 1080.  I am fighting the uglies with my substrate

Still rolling in August.  This is the 9 month point.  It appears that my historically mild mushroom has built up some confidence and is overtaking my once large and happy hammer coral.
