yes I love it.  I will never get rid of it.  It is my canary in the coal mine   I have had for a year and a half now and can tell how my tank is doing by coloration and tissue. I did however break a 3rd of it off when I had to pull all the rock out for a reset.   but It is now in its permanent spot for the duration of the tank.   cant wait till I add the rest off the rock and fill it with corals.

corals have colored back up now that the nutrients are in check.  I finally picked up some of the more delicate acropora to see how they do in the system.

Update pre frag swap.  Ive been on the brs/ brightwell coral aminos trial program and have noticed a big difference in the health of my corals.  Tissue is thicker and more colorful. Seeing better results than when dosing acro power.  Dino’s are in check but still there. Nutrients raised and holding at no.10ppm phos..07ppm noticing green algae on top of all my rocks not sure 🤔 if it hair algae that the tangs are keeping in check or turf algae?  Birds nest purchased from brs showing stn first time for me. The affected corals we’ll be pulled and inspected/ dipped when I add the new corals from drag swap.

posting an update im ~2.5 year into this tank and finally starting to see it mature.  I recently had the skimmer over flow with a weeks worth of crap, but had no time for a water change.  I slowly brought the nutrient back down and found a sweet spot were over the course ov a couple days my corals uptake shot through the roof.  I realized then that the system was two lean on nutrients and have kept them elevated ever since in that area since then. the tank is now starting to blossom.

😂.  Funny right  phos was .14. And nitrates were at 15 I was always trying to keep pho4 at .03 and nitrates at 5ppm. Wasn’t cutting it corals were pale and light was too high.

The reef looks very healthy. Doing great Brandon! My theory on phosphates is they don't matter, as long as you have enough. No one believes me though.
