It's been another 2 months.
So here are some updates.

I lost a couple deepwater colonies due to alkalinity problem. Also replaced some colonies with some other new ones.
Added quite a few fish to the tank because I want to improve my coral colors.

I've also started using biopellets. It's working fine, except that I am feeding a lot more as well. The algae is sucking up nutrients faster than the pellets. Got a lot of red turf algae, some hair algae on the back wall with some cyano as well.
Most of the corals are doing pretty well though

. Here are some new pics:

Wow you have great colors! Very busy little tank you have there. Is that thick blue one a. gemmifera?

Ya, I believe it is a.gemmifera. Someone identified it for me last time.

Great tank, you have good taste.

Thanks guys for the compliment.
I still get a lot of things fixed for the tank. Mainly the algae problem. I guess you can't really see them in the pics.
I also want to switch to 2-part dosing instead of Ca reactor. I just got too much trouble with the reactor.
