Tank looks great!!! Do you have any issues with coral warfare?

This is an amazing thread...can I ask how long you had to wait before you saw this kind of growth and colors after setting up the tank?

Thank you, I let the tank run dark for 6 months with fish only before adding corals. Having established live rock is the crucial when starting out.

yes, all the time which is why I am fragging and removing older "uglier" corals.

Nothing special, I perform 15 gallon water changes weekly with Instant Ocean sea salt and I dose ESV B-Ionic two part with BRS DIY Magnesium.

How much B Ionic Ca and Alk do you dose on a well stocked tank like this? I'm also dosing B-Ionic, but not getting the kind of growth you are. how much mag?

I think 120 mL per day, 3mL of mag.
