Awesome corals, colors, and pics sir.

Thanks everyone.

SPS pics to follow.

What a summer. Dealt with high salinty, low alk, cyano, crappy ATI not firing, bryopsy, and now low alk again. At least it's only one thing at a time. Can't wait to get me profilux doser. Can't believe corals are still alive. Oh, and ich on all my fish.

Well you cant even tell. Sorry for all the Q's but are you running this tank BB?

Are all the fish alive still? The trio of helfrichi are amazing!

Thanks!

Thanks. I haven't had any casualties in awhile and when the snowflakes died, I was actually sad.

sg- fluctuates around 1.025
ca- haven't measure in awhile, however I was using seachem and now deltec salt
alk- just measured last night and it was at 7 with a elos kit. been having a problem since I remove calcium rx. trying to raise it to 9-10.
mg- never been measured.

water changes are done when I have time and it ranges from 5 gallon a day to 15 gallon per month. can't wait to get the profilux doser to automate everything.

growth could be better since the alk is so low. i had great success on my old 60 with t5's when I dosed daily with B-ionic. A buddy of mine told me to try iodine and I found that the Oregon Tort and my Blue Efflo are loving it.
