Sps is looking great looks like pohls has really helped, have you thought about trying vibrant to zap the bubble algae? Been told it works well.

Mindy how long have you been using Xtra? i been contemplating on which coral additive to give my corals colour. i tested my P04 today and it still reads 0, even after i added 4 anthis over the past 3weeks. i heard Acropower is good, how long did you use it for with no results?

Mindy, quick question regarding Aquaforest 1+2+3+... How do you dose them, I mean... do you dose them all at once or do you wait for a few moments before dosing the 2+ then the 3+? What's the best time to dose these?

Thanks.

Lol, I do not understand why my message only showed "great pics"...
Wanted to know about your skimmer routine as I read is off a night time. Do you have a set schedule or just goes off every single day?

Great progress there Mindy, all corals seems very happy and vibrant. Thanks for sharing.

Just a question though, I noticed there is no fish on the current photo, did you remove all your fish?

I was turning it off at night, but was thinking that's not a good idea (gas exchange), and someone else mentioned that too, so now I just remove the cup at night and put a tupperware container or it so it doesn't spray everywhere. In the morning I put the cup back on. I've been thinking to experiment with leaving the skimmer on 24/7 again, but it's bad timing with there being no fish in the display right now


Ah ok, I was asking because I was thinking to turn my off every once in a while because the wife sometime complain when we watch a movie lol.

Sad to ear about your issue with ich, hope you are able to put the fishes back in the tank soon... good luck

That sounds like a good place to start. Hopefully it helps you. You might get some diatom bloom at first from the aminos in it.

Fish back in the display in 68 days. I'll actually probably set up a temporary system for them while we wait for the display to be ready again. I need my QT for clients' fish.
