No sign of cyno. Snails dis their job and I think the water quality is improving. Removed a media tray and placed the reactor in the chamber and moved the skimmer into the chamber next to it.

Nitrates seem to be manageable. Around 5ppm. I'll do a second water change to get them down under 5. Added some hermit crabs and a torch coral. Also a clove coral that has not opened. I hope the clowns will host in the torch. We shall see. Cyno is receding nicely.
