![]() Sand settled, finally relatively clear. Sand was cleaned and reused and was still a little smelly even after extensive cleaning. Nitrates up to 5-10 but not bad considering.
Hard to get a good picture of the aquascape but whatever. It will look completely different covered in coral anyway. Excuse the cords and extra powerheads. Need to buy some new powerheads eventually. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() Well, started messing around with the aquascaping again since I wasn't really loving the right rock wall and wanted to have more space infront. Created a V wall instead with a direct path down the center to the back wall. Really LOVE it because it creates much more depth!
Tank is abit cloudy so I will take pics tomorrow! Starting to hate maintaining 2 tanks 20 minutes apart. The 72 has started to show some high nitrates (40!)..ugh! Combination of messing around rocks, removing some rocks(biological filter), skimmer not skimming properly, and Mom being a little too generous on the feedings. Brought it down a touch with a WC and fixed the skimmer. CUT the fedings too. Hopefully it settles down! 144G is doing well. Starting to see the ugly diatom bloom already. Plumbing and sump still on hold.
