The fruits of my labor
Now i need pateince of Job
 
Key to success:

1. Tap water add prime
2. Wet/dry filter bigger better, use crush coral
3. Plenty water flow
4. Hiatt filtration especially their activated carbon
5. Food proprietary still testing, food key to succeSS

Note: notice 230 orp with heavy feeding.

It looks great. I hope it will develop further.

Do you use Jomama juice too? As I can see in my aquaria - it do not make any harm and my LPS use catch tentacles every night. I notice a rise in my PO4 the other day but if it is caused of the Jamama juice or not - not a clue. However with help of little GFO a have taken it down. NO3 have been low (0.25- 1.0) before I start with Jomama juice. It was low now too.

Tank is doing really good. Hiatt products help alot

Yesterday found tiny as tiny as possible different dendronephthya, not red tip type. Has like 7-10 little polyps. I frag a different dendro, before doing some red tip ones. Surprise to find it.
I add jomama juice when I remember, when making food to dose. Sometimes I forget.
I also made a time release food block out of plaster. Works good.

ORP is 230 with heavy feeding. That really good.
Lasse, I have a spider sponge, at LFS it was bad shape, doing good now. With time recoup.
Now that I'm waiting, I'll try mastering photography/videography for tank.

Now patience of Job
