Here are some pictures I took today. They are probably the last pictures of this tank in it's current state. I have been having too many issues with the algae and coral deaths that it is time to rethink the tank. I did some tests in the sand bed and found that it is definately not doing all it needs to do, I found lots of phosphate in the bed just under the surface. The bed just isn't binding everything it needs to in my opinion. So in a couple of weeks, I will be pulling everything out into tubs and removing the sand bed. There has been so much change in my tank this whole year that it will actually be a good change. The transfer should be a day or two job. We are thinking about drilling a hole near the bottom of the tank to get some water flow at the bottom of the tank from the pumps. The overall tank will have the same amount of flow.
That is the plan as of today, who knows, it could change and I could get cold feet, but I am sure there will be changes as it is a sure sign things are a bit off when my healthiest corals are showing signs of distress. Wish me luck.
