Finally getting control of the STN I've been battling for the last few months. Hopefully I can just sit back and let these twigs grow

Very modest title for such a nice setup. Those corals are in random flow heaven. How many powerheads do you have in there? I think I see atleast 5.

Thanks guys! I'm running a non-LED powermodule 8x54. There is quite a bit of flow in there. I have 2 Tunzes 6105, 1 Tunze 6095, and 2 arse kicking Jebaos WP40's. I believe my phosphate levels could have been the main problem. I was in the .20-.30 zone but hesitated to add GFO because it would cause my sps to STN over night everytime! Finally made the switch from BRS to Rowaphos. Slowly brought the phosphate levels down without any issues and now currently sitting at .05. Since the drop in phosphate, I have upped my ALK supplement from 70 mls to over 110 mls just to keep it barely at 8. I also had some red bug issues too but have dipped them all away. Fingers crossed

If you have just red bugs , why not interceptor for in tank treatment. It does wipe out red bugs well
I was having a tough time tracking down some interceptor. Will at AQUASD hooked it up with a couple of small dog size pills. Just enough for dips and not in tank treatment. I haven't seen any since. Fingers crossed.
Diggn the aquascape bro
