Morning Temperature too high (81 F!)
I noticed that the morning temperature shot up to 81F so I turned the fans on to bring the temp back down.
Moved Zoa
At night after the lights were out I moved the zoa rock over to the algae covered one (closer to the light source. Will check if they will be opening up this way.

Clove Polyp Frag doing great!
This morning I checked on the Clove polyp rock that I found some Clove Polyps on. They all expanded to about 1/3" from 1/4" and became thicker and healthier looking.
The Zoas were still closed in the morning. So I took their rock and moved out to the out most left corner of the tank. I'll see if they will opend duringthe day.

Swap back to original Oceanic PH
When I came home at night I noticed that the powerhead I put is making way too much noise and vibrations. I swapped it back for the original Oceanic powerhead.
Stopping Coralia Powerhead problem solved!
Today the Coralia powerhead stopped spinning again!
I disconnected the pump to check the flow and it was pretty fine.
Then I checked the head intake nozzle and it turned out to be all clogged up wiht chaeto!
So I cleaned it out with a toothpick. Hopefully it'll be fine now - will check in the evening.

Pump upgrade
This morning when I woke up I found out that the coralia head stopped spinning.
I had swapped original oceanic water pump (140 gph?) with MaxiJet 600 rated 160 gph and the head started to spin again.
I also found out that I need to buy a sponge for filtration to be inserted in the output chamber.
The only sponge currently in the filter is the one on top of the filter basket.
