So far, so good! My corals seem a lot happier and growth has been much better. My Xenias are the only coral that seem less happy. They're still doing ok but there not as happy as they were with my od tank. Nitrate is undetectable but phosphates are still at .5. I recommend using a bacteria additive when you start the pellets. That has helped get rid of my cyano. It's very nice to have a single reactor that does a much better job than a big fuge ever did. I have a much smaller sump but much better water params.
