Give us some insight on if you are still doing the same things? have you changed anything....ie feedings, lights, filtration, etc?
Very good thread!!!

Just about everything is the same, although I'm now using a CaRx to maintain calcium and alkalinity. My 2-part demand was well over 100ml per day, so it made sense to make the switch. I also reduced my Amino dosing due to a higher bioload (added a few fish, & swapped a few out) and added 24 3w Royal Blue XP-Es for a better dawn/dusk simulation. Everything has grown well and continues to thrive, so I have no complaints. Here's a couple more recent pics:

Dude those pics are amazing and its so cool that you just have a random rbta stuff in there....how often do you dose coral food? and what kind? Are running only leds?

Also its amazing how you are able to keep a truly mixed reef. well done. i admire you. i hope one day my reef will look like yours.

Do you find that keeping your temp at 79 is better for coral growth. I keep mine at 77.5 to 78 and Also have a mixed reef. Have wondered if my temp should be a little warmer.

Mine likes it around 76-77. At 78 I noticed some corals didn’t look as happy.
