Im going to be moving this tank during the weekend, so thats a good time to get some overflows and a sump put in along with a skimmer. I mostly have fish two clowns, a little neon goby and two striped damsels atm, some button polyps a torch coral and a LTA.

Im planning on adding more corals after moving though so tis good to get everything right.

I go through about 1.5 gallons every day in my 72 bowfront. I'd also get rid of the glass top. Replace it with a netting to prevent jumpers. You'll get better gas exchange and more light.

I made mine from deer netting and dowel rods from Home Depot. The rods are connected with airline tubing. With a bowfront you really can't cover the entire front but you greatly reduce the odds of finding fish jerky on your floor.

The alkalinity is at 9 dhk seems ok

yeah- that's good.

Overall things should get better after removing the glass top. The netting top is your best choice.
