How have the Neptune solenoids held up? They seem to have mixed reviews. Where did you get your lid from? Have you run an auto feeder on the tank at all, and if so how do you fit it with the lid?

Beautiful tank, one note, could be wrong, but the way your UV is set up, the water isn't touching the bulb. It's just draining from one end to there other. The inlet and the outlet need to be point up, or stand up vertical to ensure the water is touching the UV light and filling up. If you have a valve on it to build up pressure, then you may not be getting the recommend flow thru it. Which I think is about 150 to 200 GPH.

@ReefDudes

You are correct as the placement is not ideal (should really be vertical) but it’s the only spot that I could fit it. That being said it is accomplishing its main job for me of keeping the water crystal clear :)

Acans are one of the first LPS to respond to low or zero phosphate by shrinking. Some of your Euphyllia looks contracted as well for the same reason.. With that much LPS you dont want phosphate below. 03. If that checks out try iodine.
