Your doing something right.[emoji106]
Do you run t5's? If yes, what bulbs?
What do you use for ca, alk?
Also p04, n03?
Thanks [emoji6]
 
Looks really good man. Any way we could get a list?
 
Thanks.. here are my tank spec: DSA 105g with 40gal custom sump--running carbon and phosguard.. skimmer (old reef octopus extreme 200 with extended neck and askoll 1500 pump)

Other specs:
-Been running radions xr30 G3 pro for years(loved it)--just upgraded to xr30w G4pro.. using the AB+ template.
-No dosing--just Geo cal. Rx (dose a little of alk-once in awhile)..
-as far as nutrients go: I try to keep my Po4 as low as I can, I don't like the sight of algae growth(mine been hovering around .02-.04) and No3--I've been trying to increase it by using the stump remover regiment, I just want to see any different with higher nitrates (Mine is around 5-10ppm)
- I also try to keep my potassium around 400-420 range (I think it does help with coloring)
--I don't or very very rarely dose any amino
As far as water change--roughly 30gal every months.. if I see any algae growth or my Po4 increases, 5 gallon WC every week .

Your corals are amazing. Thanks for sharing the names. I really would love to have all of them. I run radions and the AB + program as well. It is good to see you are having such great success with them.
 
Location? Those are amazing colors
 
Your corals look amazing. If I could trouble you with few questions as I run a Radion g4 Pro too:

1) What overall brightness do you run the AB+ schedule at?
2) How high are you running the lights off the tank? (I use the RMS tank mount)
3) What parameters do you try and keep you water at?
4) What and how do you dose?

Many thanks in advance :)
 
Ok need to pick up jaw from the floor. How are you getting all those yellows? Those are some colorful sps and some of the nicest I have seen.
 
looking awesome I'm having such a hard time getting vibrant color but my Hannah checker reagent was bad and I stopped dosing alk and I was steady 8.3 and dropped it to 7.0
 
I wanna see a full tank shot!!
Full. Tank. Shot!
Full! Tank! Shot!!
FULL! TANK! SHOT!!!!
