Thank you all for the kind comments.

Have been working hard to control the nitrate levels...

If you look closely at the photos, you can see very large bunches of Chaeto on both sides of the display tank and in the sump... + bags and bags of PURA NitrateLock, Seachem Denitrate, etc inside my sump!

Thanks Jack.

Nitrate still hovering at around 5-10 ppm..

Ammonia, Nitrite, Phosphate at zero

The birdnest & digita (blue polyp) frags from you are doing very well..

The light blue tip acro frag has turn slightly greenish brown though... probably due to nitrate

not dangerously high.

beside cheato, can also consider AZNO3 or BioDigest.

both product will help in skimming and reduce NO3.

as for Azno3, follow their instructions and dose with care.

Has been living in this coral for more than a week.. fortunately none of my fish (esp 6-line wrasse) is harassing it.
