Dosing pumps are working well
Spending some time dialing them in and quite happy with the automation

I've had zero NO3 and PO4 all along and it was starting to show with pale corals
Been overfeeding the fish, feeding the corals 2-3 times/week, and plan on knocking back my WC frequency in an attempt to get the corals happier
We're starting to notice more vibrant colors, and hopefully over the next month we'll see some better improvements with more food and stability

So, for reference and eye candy, it's FTS time
Some day I'll be able to afford a better camera - some day

First, your tank is coming along nicely. I really like your aquascape. It's going to look really great once your corals grow out a bit more.

Re your N03 and P04, what test kits are you using? My apologies if this was covered earlier in your thread.

Thanks for the nice comments

For NO2-3 and PO4 I've been using Seachem
It's fairly clear to me the NO2-3 kit is accurate as my corals were paling and growing thinly
I would like to try a Hanna PO4 colorometer when I have some spare cash

I use the Hanna Phosphate Checker for P04. I used to have high P04, but now with the use of GFO, it runs mostly between zero and .07. For N03, I use API (not accurate for low readings) and Elos. It has been consistently zero for some time now. I have never used the Seachem test kits, so can't say how they compare.

I only recently started adding SPS, but it is growing very nicely, so I guess my tank has some nutrients.

Yes, looking good man! I love those nice tall arches!

Thanks K-man
I'm hoping they don't get in the way down the road as the fish enjoy them

New corals this last week
Thanks again Rich - seems like pretty soon I'll own a piece of everything he has

My B-day gift from him - a nib of Setosa
There's too many particulates in the water right now to get a clearer shot as my camera's spot focus follows every little thing Grrr


Green Slimer


Turaki


Pink Birdsnest


Favia, with photo-bombing from a Lettuce Nudi and Hector ( plus some Urchin spines )


And lastly, a pic of our Bangaii, Boo
I think it's a 'She' and likes hiding whenever I'm playing in the tank


FTS to follow some time soon
