ddc0715 · Feb 23, 2023

so I started this program on 12-23-22 to be exact and have been on it now for 8 weeks. or 2 months in. I send off monthly icp tests as well and just got my third one back.. I love this level of control. I speak with some that don't like it and prefer all in one's. I respect that. tomato tomoto... your husbandry skills have to be A+ if you use this program.anyway here is some pics. first one will be day one and the other is AN AS OF TODAY. so yeah that is some pretty DANG good color improvement, growth and tissue repair just to name a few for two months..whats crazy is i thought my corals were doing fine before i started this program. i was DEAD wrong.

I like Reef Moonshiners, it helps cement the idea that more isn't better while encouraging a good testing routine and observation over intervention

What were you doing before this program that you are comparing it to?

0 structure... just randomly buying items thinking it would help.that's kinda a hard question to answer. srry. getting a firm understanding on my tanks needs via an icp has help me greatly. knowing i needed say iron but not boron, or needing Potassium and not needing Manganese etc... and as you know these elements can come in a combo packet (all in ones)the single elemental control just appeals to me and turned on the light bulb in my head.

The rule of thumb has always been dont dose what you cant test for so this seems to fit that rule to a T...I have went back and looked at older 6 month old pics of the same corals and its kinda wild to see better growth and colors in two months compared to 6 months. but that's just my opinion. I use to look at my tank and wonder what the heck. and now I say dang look at that wow.
