Quick vid of the Rescaped tank

A lot of acros got stressed and some didnโ€™t make it or broke into pieces but most are slowly recovering from the process. Working on a phosphate issue slowly trying to bring it down and bring back those colors.

Nice โ€˜scape - very open and the fish seems happy. I donโ€™t see any unhappy SPS, everyone seems happy. Iโ€™ve recently reset and re-scaped my 150gal as well. It usually takes a few weeks for existing corals to stabilize. Good luck!

    Thank you. Everyoneโ€™s a lot happier now. I know the corals still need to settle in. I went through 3 tubes of putty and 3 reef glues and threw away a whole bin of just broken pieces which kinda sucked cause I watched these little guys grow and now itโ€™s like starting all over. I guess I have to get more pieces next weekend ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Before and after shots of my 150gal cube re-scape. It was too claustrophobic and very challenging to get flow around the tank before. Lessons learned: rock work should never go past 50% of vertical height so SPS can grow. ๐Ÿ˜

    I lost some ORA pieces during my reset but itโ€™s time to move on anyway. Let me know what you need. I might have some frags to help you replenish, free ofc.

    Looks good. Way more open and I bet it makes the tank look bigger. At least thatโ€™s how I feel about mine. Iโ€™m glad I did it though made me like looking at the tank again instead of staring at a huge rock wall.

    Nice rescape, looks like tons of swimming space and nooks and crannies.
