I have been struggling with colours on stuff. I bought a new calcium test kit and it read 520, my old one said 450. I have stopped dosing calcium at this moment in time until I get to 420. My other parameters are stable at the minute. Also trying to remove a big crab out of my stylo but he's not having any of it.

It looks awesome from here!
High CA should not be an issue as long as your alk is not affected.
Phos and nitrates could rob some color.
I would replace that eggcrate top w/ a BRS pond net kit, would look cleaner, or krylon fusion that crate black if your brace is in the way of doing a net top.

What size is this tank

steve&mari · Sep 9, 2015

That's a sweet looking tank and I love the size 36x30x24 you can do a lot with a sandbed with that depth. Ours is a 40b so I feel cramped depth wise.

Yes 30 is good but reaching front to backs an effort. This is the main reason the back glass is not cleaned Haha. Thanks for comenting.

Yes it's got a brace bar right down the middle . Makes all sorts of issues. ...if I bleached the egg crate it will look better. I could make a pelmet what you recon.

That's real nice of you to say so . Thankyou.

Very inspiring because one of our tank is similar to yours but these are just frags.

So hopefully, it turns out the same as yours, healthy and happy.

We have at least 30 different sps frags from different vendors such as cherrycorals, liveaquaria and worldwidecorals. I can only imagine a year or so from now with a proper care, these babies will mature like yours. ( Zeovit )
