So tank was super over grown and corals were battling to the death so today I decided to prep for a partial reset.

Now I’ll let things settle a bit dial the ca reactor back a bit and start again. big no to monti. ever again overdrew everything.

Looks great! I am in the process of upgrading to a 120 also. Modifying stand and then changing color to black.

Well it’s the end of an era and time to upgrade again. New tank will be an Innovative Marine EXT 170. I loved this tank it was a perfect size for 9 yearsbut now I want a little bigger.

Tank running still 12/30/24

Tank with coral layer of rock removed 12/30/24

Coral in 150G stock tank

Next move remaining rock and fish then Drain and clean out sand.
