@Sisterlimonpot copper sulphate solution is already soluble copper and the blue colour won't be noticed under his blue lighting!

Even better, that's for the advice.

Thanks for checking in Daniel, As mentioned above we actually recently hosted the local reef club so lots of people got to see it in person. I'm currently doing a little work on it, removing a few huge colonies that I want to replace with something different. I'll take some updated pictures once I'm done...

Hi. Do you still use a UV sterilizer in your tank?

Hi. Do you still use a UV sterilizer in your tank?

Yes I do.

 

[Miami Reef]

Yes I do.

What’s the purpose of the UV for you?

 

[Epic Aquaculture]

What’s the purpose of the UV for you?

Water clarity, and a reduction of algae.

Very nice! Are you using a special light for the photography or just creating a vignette when processing the photos?

Also, can you give the names?

Thank you for the kind words! All of the pics are under Radion G4 Pros set on the AB+ schedule. I then add the vignette when processing as it helps to focus the view on the main subject. In order they are: BKChem Fruit Loops, EA Dirk Diggler, JF Jolt, Raising Reefs Blue Flame, RRU Angry Birds, RRU Rainbow Blossom, RMF Last Dragon, RRC Shazam, SC Orange Passion, TSA Princess Peach and WWC Pantera Rosa

The exquisite, yet subtle, beauty of RR End Game is not to be ignored!

Congratulations on Reef of the Month, your tank is stunning.

In the write up on your tank you mention dosing Bacto Balance. Was wondering how much you dose and how you find it helping to control Nutrients?

Thank you for the kind words! I dose 1 vial of Prodibio Bio Digest and 2 vials of Prodibio Pro Biotix every Monday. I still have to carbon dose to keep NO3 in check, but the main benefit of dosing bacteria for me is to keep the populations of "good" bacteria high so that the "bad" bacteria does not take over and cause issues.

I also dose Bio Digest, will look into the Pro Biotix. Is Bacto Balance your only source of Carbon?

Yes it is.

@Sisterlimonpot must have been slacking off on sabotaging your system!
