Thanks for the comments. I only use the following:

7 drops coral vitalizer daily
7 drops sponge power daily
last few months 4 drops amino acids corals daily

0.3 mL Start 2 twice a week
10 drops bak twice a week
3 drops zeo food twice a week

I have played around with iron (zeo) 6 drops once a week - this really gets the greens brighter

I would like to try pocci glo - just waiting for Marine Aquaria to get some in.

I have also played around with Pohl's Xtra - haven't noticed anything different.

It's expensive but I'm still on the original bottles of everything but Bak (2nd bottle). That's pretty good considering I have about 340 gallon water volume. So if something expensive lasts a year, I'm happy with that.

I use the same as you. But when I use Pohls's Xtra or B-Balance I get a small patch of cyano. I'm not sure which one of the 2 is causing it. Do you get the same? Went off of Zeo for the last month and will be starting up again on monday. Just seeing if I will notice a difference in color or growth.

I have never had cyano in this tank ever. I did try B balance once, but didn't notice anything different so never bought it again.

Well Dez, as I'm mending my broken bones on light duty at work (VERY SLOW DAYS) I finally decided to read through this build thread as I've been meaning to for ages. Truly amazing! I sat shaking my head from the first growth sequence post on wondering what I need to do to even come close!! lol. Amazing build my friend! Keep up the good work! Oh, and keep growing out that Teal Acro buddy!!

That teal acro is growing fast hey? You probably noticed last time you were here it's practically touching 2 neighbouring colonies.... Thanks for the encouragement.

I DID!! I was tempted to see if Caley would sneak me a little piece!! lol. Hopefully someday... and that yellow one with the pink tips!! Man you've got some nice stuff in there! I'm gonna have to put in some high end orders soon and have some bargaining leverage with you!!

I can't believe you read through the whole thread. Don't tell me you did it all in one sitting. Sorry to have wasted a few hours of your life
