Long over due update..
So went through a cyanobacteria out break lasted about a month. Now the nitrates are climbing back up some. My sea lettuce went sexual and is over growing some rocks. I added an enchanted forest birdsnest and a suntan montipora. Birdsnest is doing good polyps are out. The Monti not so much. Polyps are not coming out. I have moved the frag a few times trying to find a place it is happy. Also added a diamond goby and a scopas tang. Tang is slowly picking at the sea lettuce. My Duncan has grown about 6 heads. Few pics.

I would stock the tank a bit more, I have read that too little nutrients from fish can be bad for corals

Yes I was thinking about that so I added two fish. I think it's issue with stability. Going from little nitrates to 5-10. Will be checking everything again in a couple of days.

Quick update:
So we will start with fish. The diamond gobie and scopas tang are right at home. They are part of the crew now. This being said I was in Petco with my gf and saw a foxface and was like oh I love him. We didn't get it. I thought I would wait for the last two fish to settle in. Today my gf cones in like I got your Christmas present. Yup you guessed it's the foxface. This being said the tank is not welcoming the new addition. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

In my last post I mentioned my cyanobacteria outbreaks. It keeps coming and going. I was getting alot of hair algea build up on the rocks. So I decided to get 70$ in hermits and snails. The rocks are clearing up but the cyano is still here and there. Also got an emerald crab but haven't seen him in a week.

Corals are all doing well. Well besides my sps. The montipora polyps are still not coming out much. I see a few but definitely not all. My birdsnest lost a section of it's polyps. The rest of it is still out so just keeping an eye on them. My fist Duncan is about the size of a baseball. It's definitely growing quickly.

New additions. Like stated above my gf got me a foxface. Day 1 still unknown of the acceptance of the tang and clown bosses. I also got one of my dream corals. An yellow tipped elegance coral. I'm in love already. Also day one but it's out and waving in the waves. I also added another Duncan to the order. It's still a baby but it's going to end up next to the original one. Also got a freebie I'm thinking it's a montipora or another encrusting coral. Will get an I'd for the future. And for what everyone wants to see the pics.
Ps I have cut alot of white out of the lights so it's going to be blue!!
