My local SPS collection

[Donovan Joannes]

Hello reefers!. Started keeping some stony coral a year ago after getting my water stable. Some are quite new, added on the last day of 2017. Not that colorful, hopefully not washed out. Cheers!

[Donovan Joannes]

Opppss. I do have one dragon wrasse to stir up my sand bed. That is the reason for all speckles of dust on my pictures

 

[CoralWealth]

very nice. How is everything going currently?

What aminos do you dose and what else are you currently dosing besides 3 part.

How often are you doing water changes and how has your color and growth been?

I removed all pocilopora due to spawning. The rest is doing good. I removed one live rock to make some space for more acros.

I am dosing aquaf***** amino mix, vitality and energy. I don't do WC, so i have to dose a few more elements. Color and growth varies as wild SPS is finicky but overall color and growth is good. I am bringing down my phosphate with algae trough and everything looks promising.
