ReeferMadness80G’s Shallow SPS Reef

How are you liking the ATI essentials? It's been a while since I have visited your forum. Tank is coming along real nice. I am thinking about going the ATI route as well.

Thanks, finally starting to get some color back in some sticks. As far as the ATI essentials goes, I’m not sure if I started off at too much of a dose or what but it says to stay in the 7dkh range for alkalinity and to adjust according to that. Well my alkalinity just kept rising, It May be bc I don’t have much for stock yet idk. Ive stopped dosing until I can get my alk back down, then I will start a much lower dose.
 
Finally scored 2 pieces of fire from “Reef Addicted” that I’ve been wanting for a while! The pictures are of the mother colonies! First is the RA Sweet Tart Tenuis

the frag I got is healing so it hasn’t made it to my tank yet.
Second, is the RA Splatter Berry Tenuis

and the frag of this one just got put into the tank. I’ll try and get a pic of it later. He has both of these pieces and hundreds more up for auction on eBay, just search Reef Addicted! I don’t get any kind of royalties from this, it actually hurts me bc I’ll be bidding on these too!
 
Nice additions! I'll be following your experience with ATI Essentials as you go along. Considering it for my new tank as well.

I would like to hit the "like" button a second time on these two.
It will be a pleasure watching all your encrusting pieces turn into colonies.
 
Is that a rainbow bubble tip in your pics?

Aren’t they gorgeous!? I’ve been watching these two colonies for a while now. They are even better in person! Needless to say they fetch a pretty penny so the frags I got are pretty small, but at least I got some!
 
We have yet to try an anemone. I know most say mature tanks are best. My son got a mated pair of clowns for a gift...I see yours nestled in there.
 
After some ups and downs with ATI Essentials, I think I’ve stabilized only using 6ml per each daily. Now, hopefully I can get back to enjoying the tank.
Parameters as of right now are
Calcium-430
Alkalinity-7.7
Magnesium-1350
No3-5ppm

I also have some exciting news that I’ll be sharing Tuesday, I’ll leave you with this teaser.
