About to approach the one year mark on the tank. It surely has come a long way.

Does anyone else use Tropic Marin Bio Actif salt? If so, what is your experience?
Clownfish hosting in the GSP.
Update on the reef:
1. I was careless with feeding my fish an coal causing a nutrient spike. Went through a diatoms, cyano and finally HA outbreaks in that order. On the down slope of the HA outbreak, it is going to take time, but I think I have the upper hand.
2. To improve circulation I rearranged some of the LR in the DT, it has opened the tank up along the overflow.
3. I decided to remove the sand bed in the tank going with a bare bottom. The MP-10 does a great job in grabbing the detritus off the bottom and suspending it in the water so it can be removed in the sump.
4. I am having success some success with the LPS in the tank. The purple hammer has gone from two heads to 7 and the Torch 2 to 5 heads.
