The tank looks great! I hope scrubbing off the GHA works for you!

How the heck do you get your caps to plate like that? Mine form "cups" and then whorl out from there but they don't plate very flat
 Is it a flow thing?Oh and the tank looks great by the way. Makes me want to do an "all cap" tank

That tank is stunning. I relay like the Monti cap(green) on the top right hand corner so eye popping.

Thanks everyone, I hope the GHA stays away too.
As for the caps; they have all been fragged and broken and abused, thats why they looks the way they do. Every fracture will form a new "pedal" so to speak. It will also help to have them grow up the side of rocks or even the tank wall. I have always tried to keep them up high and in high flow for maximum color.

update
I've been reding that PO4- can restrict calcium uptake in corals. So I went out and bought some phosban media, and put it into a bag in the sump. we'll see if it also helps indirectly with keeping my water cleaner, as well as my growth.
GHA has come back a bit, but my new lawnmower blennie seems to be keeping it trimmed back. Oh ya, I've also upgraded my skimmer from my old SS-125 to an ASM-G3. What a difference that made alone!
