Thank you! I wasn't really doing water changes much so I was just using Coralife when needed. I wouldn’t recommend it... Mg is ultra low... like 1,000 ppm consistently.Mind blown amazing tank, what salt are you using and how do you keep track of all the coral names. also after reading this thread my finger hurts.
Now that I’m running the Dastaco Calcium reactor and their media which is only Ca/alk.... no other trace elements... I’ve started to do regular water changes to supplement trace. I use good ol’ Instant Ocean now.
Always fun to see someone burn through the thread on a “like” fest. I login and see 50 notifications. Lol. I appreciate the support.
I write the names on the plugs or tiles until I commit everything to memory. Its a useless skill but helps me when I can post and not have to flip a tile everytime to remember what it is.
Dude you are thorough. Great pics. I have more work to do with both of these. Growing well under T5 but not quite the same color pop just yet. Darn patience.My WD was green for a bit when i first got it and then went a nice yellow and stayed that way.

Yeah, I’m ready for that Lady in Pink to grow out a bit. Really like the large corallites.
Cricket spine has been threatening to blow up soon... I’m just waiting with excitement.
I do remember you posting a pic of the cricket spine a little while ago and we all said the same thing lol. Just out of curiosity, have you heard of anyone using the KZ coral system line?

Yeah, it was about to explode and then I added the denitrator. Everything kind of slowed to a halt until adjusting to the lower nitrate levels. Now it seems everything is waking back up and firing on all cylinders again. I’ve recently moved my Dastaco dial back to the same number prior to the denitrator... basically telling me uptake is back where it was before I added it.
I don’t. KZ has been around for awhile. I’m sure there are some people that still use it.

but still.
I like to give everyone a little bit of something to enjoy. Even if I prefer full spectrum myself.
I just love to see what you've got cooking
