I think you owe the emperor an apology

And need to let it back home again!

I’ll apologize for the Sunday driver but he got his butt booted for eating over $1k in Jawdropper.

Well maybe if you didn't leave so many tasty snacks laying about!

Are you using anything to control phosphates now that you are using the denitrator and not carbon dosing?

I’ve always ran GFO with my Biopellets. They were great at reducing nitrates but didn’t do much as much damage to phosphates.
I continue to run GFO with the denitrator.

What are nitrate and phosphates now, and where do you try to keep them?

What are nitrate and phosphates now, and where do you try to keep them?

2.5 ppm nitrates, 0.08 ppm of phosphates.

I would prefer 5-10 ppm nitrates and 0.03 ppm of phosphates.

Love the creamsicle

It’s very nice. I know I’m showing it under full spectrum only but under bluer lights, it glows.

Out of curiosity, do these pictures look visually better to ya'll?

Could be my old eyes but they all seem to have some blur in the middle

They do... I only have a certain depth of field to work with so I try to center the focus on the branches more in a colony shot then the not as colorful middle. Shhh.... my secrets are coming out!

 

[FarmerTy]

I should have mentioned do the second set of pictures compared to the first set look better to everyone? One I'm uploading directly through reef2reef and the other I'm hosting on Flickr.

I do not see any difference

The only difference I see is in the first pic. The yellow coralite edges in the center of the colony are a bit more expressed in the second version. Nit picky, but that's all I see.
