Love those Monti caps!I typically don’t make build threads or long post but I’m going to start a place where I can compile my collection and answer any questions anyone may have.
Tank: 8x3x1 grow out flat
Lighting: 4x 250 watt 14k halides, tons of Reefbrite xhos, and 2 reefbreeder photons
The big 3: Dos pumps feed in between 3.5-4 gallons of saturated kalk a day, BRS soda ash, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride/sulfate
Nutrients: Nitrates between 20-40 and phosphates between 0.2 and 0.4. I dose 12 mL of ammonium bicarbonate daily to keep nitrates up. Phosphates seem to fall in line with feedings.
Traces: stopped awhile ago and went back to regular water changes with aquaforest salt.
Food: I do a probiotic bacteria mixture with aminos, enzymes, and min s coral food. I feed this maybe twice a week at most

@BristleWormHater it’s a love hate for me. I like them and I’m saving the bigger pieces for upcoming display but once the frags get out of hand, I end up with too many mini colonies that are hard to ship or transport. I did move a few at a frag swap recently and wish I had brought more.

One of these days will have to come to the real tank and do a little picking. Swapping if you're into thatYeah I’ll be there with a table. Probably taking the same tank I took to Dayton swap.

Could it be? The tyree purple monster? I have 2 of these going and it came from a local hobbyist whose colony looks 100% like the real thing with white polyps. I am hoping it develops more in the next year to show its true colors.

Way too many lol I picked up a frag of the battle corals love sky recently and will start a progress picture of this one. My favorite blue will always be the heart of the ocean due to the deep coloration.
This is a comparison next to an Oregon tort.
