Few big updates with the tank;

I'm still running my NP biopellets and have been pretty happy with how everything has been going but I have watched a slow decline in the health of certain zoa species. I finally picked up a different phosphate test and figured out why, apparently I have VERY high phosphates :neutral:. I have enjoyed lower nitrates from the pellets but as advised I should have been running a phosphate capturing media just as back up. I purchased some new Rowaphos, set up the reactor and so far over 3 days everyone that was angry at me is making a come back.

Considering this and due to some tank residents getting to large I borrowed Kiens fish trap and trapped my Vlamingii and yellow fin (Really sad to see both go :sad:. Added a great little purple tang from Kevin @ Red coral and a McCosker's flasher wrasse (Perhaps the nicest looking fish I have ever seen).

Will post some new photos tonight when I head home, I have really started large scale into SPS and the tank looks very different.
