Rotifers for the first 10 days. Introduced tdo A at day 3 to 5. Tdo b1 at day 7 to day 14. Tdo b2 starting at day 10 or so until now. I started mixing in crushed flakes a few days ago.

Good to know! I'll start adding my collection there

Update, mainly for myself so I remember what these frags are called. Ordered another battlebox since Adam was having a sale next week: BC Ultimo Skeleton 2.0 BC foist fire BC serious circus Back middle:BC blood bank; back left: BC spice invader

I've had a pair of mocha vinci clowns for about 2 years now. They spawned for the first time last summer but only a few eggs survived and I could not remove the eggs since they were laid on the back wall of my tank. I added a PVC pipe and the clowns quickly made it their home. They spawned again...

Thats wild. Whatever you're doing is working amazingly. Those are tank goals for sure

100%. I use to dose nitrate to keep my levels between 2 to 4 ppm. Thats simply to serve as a buffer to prevent them from bottoming out. I used to dose twice a week but I made slight adjustments to my fuge lighting schedule concurrently so I could stop dosing altogether. Been steady at 4 ppm for...

As long as you regularly check your nutrients, increased feeding shouldn't crash your system (although do it slowly but the same could be said for chemical approaches). Phosphate can bind to your rocks (aragonite especially) so I've been skeptical about dosing sodium phosphate. You could run...

Rostato gave great advice. One thing I noticed is that your bioload seems low for your tank size. You can try getting more fish. Youll end up feeding more and that equals more fish poop. Fish poop is the best coral food.

I have hairy mushrooms that have beat gsp and zoas. Anyone have an easy method of removing or controlling them that doesn't require rock to be broken or taken out?

Id like to put my name on the list for 7 when available.

Sorry to hear. I've gone up to 3x the recommended dose without ill effect.

Bought a 3-headed torch from tankguy during his tank liquidation. He got this piece from this group buy and the torch is doing great so far.

I lost 3/11. Rest have encrusted nicely and are coloring up. ATL shades of fall, rainbow melon teni, BC bonfire shown left to right in this pic.

Macroalgae depends on iron. You can dose with iron supplements and see if that helps. Chaeto us much better at nitrate export than phosphate. What are your nitrates at? Personally, I have a heavily stocked tank and I use gfo in a reactor with chaeto and my phosphates are between 0.05 to 0.1...

Got some really nice corals from fellow BAR members. Acan echinata from @Rostato My torch garden. Aussie gold torch in the back left from @Rostato. 3 headed green tipped purple torch on the bottom right from @tankguy Palmer's blue milli from @treylane DBTC Left to Right: Flaming lotus...

FWIW, I've really appreciated having an automated Alk measurement device (Trident). I used to dose alkalinity at a fixed amount once per day but seeing how my alk swings over the course of the day prompted me to switch to multiple doses throughout the day to keep it very stable. Results have...

When my nitrates bottomed out, I used NeoNitro from Brightwell Aquatics. I dosed 1 ppm of nitrate every day until my nitrates were ~2-5 ppm and things recovered nicely. I also bought NeoPhos just in case my phosphates bottomed out but I never had to use it.

Just keep an eye on it but I wouldn't worry about that change in PO4. My phosphate spiked to 0.25 from 0.05 over the summer and my nems were fine.

Any changes to flow or lighting? How are your other corals looking? Anenomes do split when stressed but they also split without anything wrong in my experience.
