Well giving this tank till july to bounce back. Sell the tank but keep the new skimmer, pump and zeo and start over with a larger system.

Plus I regret going zeo. Might be away for 3 week next christmas so finding someone to crash at my place will be an issue

So it has been a stressful couple of weeks with my tank. Honestly it drove me into depression so the zeo had to go. To be honest I think I overdosing a tad bit to much.

So after shutting down the zeo 2 days ago and doing 2 massive water changes things bounced back. My LPS started to look better, my chromis came out from hiding and polyp extension on my mille (the test subject) increased. So back to the drawing board...

Flow in the tank was increased by 30x which puts the tank around 55x turnover with the nano 240 off and than 64x when the nano is on. I have it on a timer to variable flow.

As for coral, looking into rarer paly's (purple death's, nuclear green's), florida ric's, and down the road I want to add pink birdsnest and some red planet once I know the system has become more stable. Lost most of my SPS during the zeo time frame but it was all frags from my 60gal so they are easily replaceable.

On the note for a low nutrient system. I have been watching fencers thread on the Prodibio line. I am considering starting this in a few weeks and I really wish I looked into this system a bit more before going zeo. It fits my schedule and is alot less demanding.

As for the sump, I now have a huge empty space and am looking for idea's. Might pick up more LR.

After my little idea to upgrade, that didn't last I decided to keep the cube (ha funny)

I am keeping some lower maintenance stuff, sure I miss having my sps around and sadly the 60gal is looking more and more like crap (long story)

well here is a small update. lowered the flow to maybe 15x turnover, raised the 150mh and decreased amount of feeding to the corals
