So I have been pushing the limits on ph in my 112gl display. Getting a 8.53 average and things are growing like weeds!!! I’ll post some good pics tomorrow.

Mine is 8.3 to 8.7.

Are you carbon dosing?

I had a disease outbreak that has stunted growth, but when it was healthy I found the corals to grow rapidly and take in mass quickly compared to my other tanks. More subjective, but I also found the skeletons to be much harder to cut into, so a bit denser by feel.

No carbon dosing, just pure saturated kalk dosed through out the night
