Thanks guys. That is some sort of chalice. I have no clue the name. It grows like a weed in my tank though. Im very bad with names, i only know a few in my tank and after a while i seem to forget. Hoping things take of now. Just started prodibio , lets see how that works.

some new pics of the tank from when I started it to about now. This was my wife old pantry, deal was tank had to be a focal point or modern design. Since she didn't want it in a room, this is were she wanted it. So I made it happen.. enjoy

Very nice! What are the dimensions of your tank? I may be able to sell my wife on something like this if it blends in as well as yours does. It fits extremely well with your decor. Well done!

Quick update.. sorry its taken so long. After having had many setbacks a couple of crashes, and almost taking a break , i decided to come back hard. I jumped on the Aquaforest train!!!.
First off. The product quality is unreal. Not only is this probably the best looking packaging shes ever seen. .according to my wife lol.. but it really does seem to work .. The salt mixes so fast and easy that i was shocked. Living in Florida, i have always liked using NSW, since i hate making it my own. Just takes to long blah blah. But with AF it so fast, and since its tested before it ships there is no need to worry about parameters being off. Whatever says on the test sheet it comes with , it is. Anyways here is a list of what im using as recommended by Aquaforest.
Product list.
Prebiotic Salt
NP pro
Probio s
Coral A B E V
Component 123 ballin +
Dosing.
1 drop of everything except Coral b, that im doing a full dose of 2.
Ballin
8 ml a day spread into 4 doses of 2 ml each every 6 hrs. I started at 24 ml but this sent my alk to 8.9 dkh and it rtn some of my sps. At the present dose its holding steady at 7.7dkh. My tank does not consume much alk at the moment as yall can see.
Quick observations
Tank seems to be responding very well considering its only been 3 days. I can see some color improvement on some of the browned out sps, like my slimmer. Its still browned but the tips are getting green, and the polyps are very green. The p.e during the day is not crazy , since i have a nipper (filefish) but he is my aiptasia eating machine!! So for now i can live with it. But at night within minutes after dosing, p.e is insane. I heard its the nppro that triggers this. Also with it seams that i now have to clean the glass every day. Were as before it would be every 3 to 4. Probably the bacteria i have heard. Anyways enough blabbering some starting pics.
