Reef Update 09/07/25 - Nem Split, Nitrates Dropping, Fishes and Corals growing rapidly

Description:
Welcome back to another reef tank update! ???? In this video, I’m sharing all the latest changes in my aquarium—from coral and fish growth to water quality improvements.
Since my last update, one of my anemones split (now there are four!), the sand bed has been refreshed, and all my fish are thriving. Watch as the Sergeant Major Damsel grows alongside my powder blue tang, and see how my corals, including green star polyps and mushrooms, are recovering beautifully after a dinoflagellate outbreak.

I also discuss some troubleshooting tips for your reef tank, including how I resolved an ozone generator issue caused by a faulty air pump. Plus, I share my carbon dosing routine using distilled white vinegar to lower nitrates and phosphates effectively—helping my soft corals thrive without excessive water changes.
