Very nice tank!!

Let me ask you 2 questions: what's your nitrate and phosphate values, and what pumps are you using? I don't see a strong circulation but you have several units I think.
Thanks

Thank you Carlos! My pump profile varies throughout the day, controlled by the Apex. Usually when I record a video, I switch it to a slower pump profile so my fish don't look like they are in a hurricane.

Thanks cFloor! Hopefully I'll have some monster acro colonies of my own soon like yours.

I'm still wondering what wrasse to get. Since I'm only getting one other wrasse besides the flame... I may go with something that is not very common... aka... expensive. [emoji5]

Sorry, never answered your other questions. 0.03 ppm phosphate and 5 ppm nitrates. I use a Jaebo WP40 and WP60.

I do like them a lot but someone in town already has one. I'm one of those annoying people who wants to be the only one in town with a particular show-boat wrasse. [emoji5]

Beautiful!
I forget, are you using any trace element additives?
Where do you keep n and p with your biopellets?
Alk?

Thanks! I add acro power once a week when I remember but that's it.

Nitrates around 5-10 ppm and phosphates at 0.03 ppm. Alk at 7.5 dKh.

[reefmutt]

Which and how much biopellets do you use and how often do you have to replenish them?
