It's filling in nicely. Sometimes it's fun to just watch the battles. It the end, it could look very cool and more natural. Plus it's also less work!

haha...less work does sound appealing! I can't believe how quickly I have completely run out of room for more corals. I've been struggling to balance my dosing off since they all started to grow.

For the most part I have. I figured out that I wasn't dosing enough...Haha.

I have been steadily upping the Alk every week and testing. It just seemed like a lot and so I started questioning myself...but now I realize I need to dose more.

Colors in tank are not quite right though...still working on it. I am upping my lighting some since i see frags that I've given out with more color in other people tanks who are blasting lights at full pop. I've been overly careful so I gotta start pushing some more.

Growth for me hasn't been an issue, but there are still too many browns or brown-like corals for my liking.

Hehe, yeah I figured you weren't being aggressive enough with the dosing. It's shocking how much the tank uses up when you're holding the dry powder in your hands!

How is your polyp extension? If PE is a bit lacking, it may be flow that you need. When you say "browns", light isn't the first thing that comes to mind (unless light is severely lacking). How's PO4? Any nuisance algae?
