Thanks, I had a TON of issues with my tank a few months back and everything bleached. Slowly but surely i'm getting my colors back.

WOW - talk about healthy frags and decent photography. As my teenage son would say "You got skillz, my brotha".
Welcome and great looking coral!

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I appreciate it!
I'm using a nikon d5000 with the stock lens.
Soccerbag- Yeah, that coral is one of my favorites for sure.
Lights are already out, I'll get a FTS tomorrow

Thanks for getting this up! Very nice. Very healthy looking SPS. Can you tell us a bit about the dosing regimen? (i.e. Ca reactor, 2-part, what type of skimmer, etc). Any advice that you can give some of the "new to SPS" reefers here on the forum?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well..
My system is a 40g breeder display, 10g sump/fuge and a 15g frag tank.
For calcium/alk I use drews dosing pumps to dose B-ionic 2part every 3 hours throughout the night. During the day when the lights are on, 3 smaller doses occur to raise PH a little more.
Right now I am dosing about 45ml of Ca, and 45ml of alk over a 24 hours period. This is keeping my Ca between 430-450ppm
I'm using an Aqua C Ramora hang on skimmer. I would of liked to have a larger skimmer but this one was bought used/cheap and seems to be doing the job so far.
I also use 1/2 cup 2little fishies carbon in a bag which is changed every 3 weeks.
My fuge is packed with macro Algae and I preform a 7g water change on the system every sunday.
I feed my fish 2-3 time a day to keep them happy which in turn feeds my corals. I also feed frozen cyclo-peeze and oyster feast once or twice a week at night.
