There is one additive that I've found really helps coral in my experience. Salt. Trust me, it works!

you wanna talk about old school? I'm still running metal halides I know, some of you young pups are probably like, WTF is a metal halide?!

Anyway, further on the topic of additives. I myself have steered away from anything that I didn't know what it did for the tank. A lot of bottles have very vague descriptions of their purpose and sometimes contents even.

it's so true though. I was at a LFS and looking at their wall of bottles... the shop keeper walks by and points out about 6 different bottles that are 'must haves' and walks away. My wife comments, "too bad there's not one product that has everything" to which I replied... "there is, it's called salt mix"

PS- I too am old school. My tank is "Berlin System" except I've upgraded my MH to LED. No sump, just a whole lotta live rock.

and Schooner lager from Oland Brewery

only east coast beers work... it's the strangest thing.

Alexander Keith's used to work but now it just lowers salinity... had to settle for Moosehead. Clancy's Red works magic but difficult to find outside of maritimes.

Really....there are very few products I trust are worth it and personally I use none and get fairly good success (dont you think?)

vit c dose.


i just aquaired a bunch of frags i sold someone back over this year and they were in a ulns....

well i showed a few people the color differences in the pieces i sold and the pieces i kept for myself.....its night and day when they are side by side


the stuff from the ulns looks like its working hard to get even a bit of color while the stuff in my tank is vibrant(not talking about sps too eary in the game for me to tell with sps) ...i thought it was suppose to be the other way around??


im actually going to make a friend a bunch of frags and stick them in his sps dominant tank and compare colors in the future for ****s and giggles
