Oh my god... good eye. I did not look closely at those pictures until now. Hmmmm... so DKH is now at 10. Need to compare older images to see if it’s worse now or not. Thanks again @Ibn for catching that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

+1 on always dipping

It’s been a month or so for some of these corals in the tank. I things are stabilizing and settling very well. Here are some close up shots of the corals in the tank: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The setup looks awesome... congratulations! Can’t wait to see the progress. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ironically I acclimate everything that goes in my tank after a dip and quarantine. Meaning i get a bucket and fill it half way with the the water that had corals/fish. Then get get a 1/4 inch tube and siphon water out of the tank into the bucket and have it drip slowly (controlled by a valve)...

No real reason. But did want to try to see if I can get more growth results. You’re very right... I should stick below 11.5. I think my corals are at a happy place, and should not mess with it and experiment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will give that a try. Thanks Vincent.

to what level do you suggest?

Update: Things seem to be stable and in good order... I think. I have a large bloom of red algae. Any idea how to eradicate it? Did a test this morning Dkh:10.9 a tiny lower than I want to be. Trying to shoot for 11.5 if not 12dkh Ph: 8.26 Nitrates: .05 Phosphat: .08 Magnesium: 1395...

Do you have a pic and/or dimensions by any chance? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Though my tank is still new, I have been running DKH around 11-12, and calcium around 475-495 consistently for the past month. Since doing so, I saw an explosive amount of Coraline growing. Even the snails now have Coraline growing on them. Forgot to mention my magnesium is currently at 1395.

Wow!!!! Absolutely stunning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome! I guess I am still rusty on a few things as I am getting back into the hobby.

I do... but they don’t seem to be doing much. I’ve also noticed the rocks have changed colors as well... more of a greenish tint. Perhaps my cleaning crew is not enough.

So I shouldn’t worry about it? [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a disturbance in the force... For some reason I am getting this strange algae growth on the crushed corals... what even more strange is all my parameters look great except for phosphate... today it registered at .11 My phosphates have typically been under .05. This is the highest...

Tested this morning my levels and noticed my phosphates are .15 and nitrates are above 10. Not exactly sure why all of a sudden things went out of wack. Planning to do a water change tomorrow. The good news is Caroline algae is finally growing. The not so hot news, is that too much crap...

Ouch... hope things have stabilized. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely gorgeous. But dang!!!! those prices are insane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Personally what made this mesmerizing were the clowns staying inside the clam... you can see one of the clowns in the last pic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
