Great diy skills there. Definitely tough work to build own tank. Camping here to see progress.

Ermm I could be wrong, but in my opinion it’s either a mis-ID or a ssc that’s not at its best to begin with, based on that picture Furthermore, like what I’ve mentioned, sps may shift colour in a different tank. But if it’s a ssc, then it’s possible to colour it up till it has its fluorescent colour. The process may take up to 6months even in the best tank conditions. If your tank’s nutrients is not too high at the moment, you may consider feeding amino acids, eg acropower or reef energy AB+, to speed up the process.

The water level in the overflow is different to that of the main display. By placing the emergency above the return and above the weir you will effectively require the overflow box to completely fill up, dumping all it's waste back into the main display before the emergency is activated. In addition running a single main return means any partial reduction in drainage on the main drain will reduce your sump water level causing your ATO to go off prematurely impacting salinity. Eventually you will have to reduce the return volume to equalise, reducing your overall tank turnover (reducing your filtration capability). There are many options and combinatioms, and it depends on the level of risk and noise you want to accept. Check out the this brief explanation of overflow systmes to help you. https://blog.marinedepot.com/education-center/charts-diagrams/durso-herbie-bean-animal-overflow With a two pipe set up you can go Herbie method (but this tends to be noisy). Alternatively a modified durso on the taller drain (when I say taller, just an inch or two above your main drain is plenty tall enough). On the main drain you can operate a durso on a full siphon (I.e. no air hole needed) controlled with a gate valve (not a ball valve!). Whilst this means you don't have an emergency drain per se, the chances of both drains clogging is really low. (And there are other ways to reduce this risk too). I would also recommend using two active drainage lines as it appears from your photo that the return and drainage lines are of same diameter(?) necessitating more drainage. How about placing the Gyre on the side wall of the overflow (?). But cords are annoying agreed. That is why someone invented the mp40 haha. They are amazing, although costly. Hmmm maybe vinyl isn't so bad after all. Hahaha. So far it is looking like a great start. Keep up the good work. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Had a chat with a few fellow reefers and they lamented that beautiful corals are very difficult to keep. But I feel that there are simple corals which are equally beautiful, so I’ve decided to take some close-ups of such corals: 1. Pipe organ coral - very interesting “soft corals” which also have a skeletal structure: 2. Cloves - can really take over the tank once it’s established. Heard from some reefers that FF cloves, however, is very sensitive and tends to “melt” in their tanks 3. Toadstool leather - will close up for a period of up to 1 week, during which some reefers have told me that they threw it away, thinking that it’s dead. But no, please do not do that. It’s actually natural for them to close up occasionally, during which they’ll look waxy/shiny. 4. Digitata - one of the easier sps one may try if they like the structure which such coral can build, to give your reef a more natural look. Pictured here is a true FF digitata, that has a green base. There has been some misIDs around, but a true FF digitata may still lose it’s green base due to non-optimal water/lighting conditions. I’d know that my water parameters is not on point if this coral doesn’t look too good - it’ll be the first to show. But it’s also hardy enough to bounce back once the conditions is back in order

Chiller sold. Thanks.
