Well routine..
I have ato attached to two little fishies kalk reactor which I generally add 1tbsp each week to help fend off low ph
I utilize Red Sea Foundation ABC and run it on my BM-T01 doser. I would have to check what I have those dosing ml wise per day, but really that is irrelevant as we all need to find our own tanks happy place.
I do a 5gl weekly wc on tank if I feel it needs it. Minimum 5gl every 2 weeks

I feed tank every night a little this a little of that. See first post for info on foods.

Just fyi ATI has only been running around month or so

Bulb wise

Those are fantastic shots Chris, I like both shots, one is more shaded than the other.
So that Stylo is pretty shaded in the image no? It looks fantastic.
Looks at the Montipora Spongodes, (if that is what it is), wow!

ha ha yes you hit the nail on the head. I like the brighter ones she likes the shaded says it has more pop.
Yes the stylo has always been tucked down in the corner with a gorg and Pavona which shade it. Seems to be happy
Ya love the spongode but I give chunks of it away whenever I can :)
Pared my tank out few weeks back only running 100 on bottom 250 range on top
Still have my ati like 14" above tank just have not moved it down since I hung it
Corals seem happy but want to do a little testing and move it down and inch and see what happens. Have someone local that has a meter

Debating selling some of the colonies. My rockwork is on pins an needles. Only thing holding it together is the corals but removing my sand over last few months made things unstable. Craziest thought has been to sell complete rock work, corals and all. Of course taking 2 frags of each prior.
 
Now that is live rock!!! Some luck duck would make out.
Everything is so growing so beautifully under the current lighting, hard decision on whether to mess with perfection. Now see I have always heard Stylo need a high par and flow to grow well. So far I have not had good luck with stylo, hmmmmm.
 
Ya no high light there for sure. The Stylo has always been in the same area but is actually lower by couple inches for the last few months. Flow is probably fairly high as I have mp10 on the other side blowing across so the flow down is probably pretty significant during day.
I turn my mp10 down to half at night
I actually will set different modes and flow settings on daily bases. No consistency except it is turned up all the way during the day

FTS and some other pics of the day. I know some look strange but sometimes strange is interesting :)

Tested params and had to bump up my alk and drop my cal
NO3 5-10ppm
PO4 .07 or 22ppm
alk 6.75 bumped up dosing another 10ml
cal over 500 but did not continue, considered a recheck but not to worried
mag 1340

Really need to do a little charting for a week or 2 and stabilize things a bit. Growth is real real good but I know it can be better :)
