My Tank Thread
Hope you're feeling better. Would love to see some new pics.

Lets update this thread with some pics and some news. First off, due to being unwell, the tank suffered Alk drops at least 3 times in the past few months. Each time I caught the Alkalinity as low as 4.5dKH! Some pieces browned out as a result. I was also dosing KZ Coral Vitaliser, and maybe I dosed too much of that too, but I cant be sure which caused the issue.
Some FTS:
FTS shot taken by my buddy on this Sony Phone.
Some Coral shots:
This piece is much nicer, but cannot capture all the tones/hues.
My Hot Pink Millepora

Red/Rose Millepora
My Red Planet: Was looking a bit nicer. But during the Alk drop incidents, it lost some of the red colour.
Closeup of my Orange Passion Acro. Love this piece; regardless of whats happening with the tank, this one always stays coloured up! Loves my tank.
Really like how this Granulosa is turning out. The larger it gets, the nicer it is looking.
Lastly, a closeup shot of my Pink Millepora.
Hope you like the pics. I will update again in a month or two. Kinda very busy starting from the end of this week. I'll be making sure to keep parameters stable and not mess around with the tank. Hoping the remaining corals will look as good as these ones.

Wow! The colors look great Sahin! You're going to make me search for an orange passion now :/ It seems like you have everything balance out well.
Do you know what sort of Par that you're getting throughout the tank?

Thanks Richard. I am getting around 400 PAR on the glass bottom of my tank. Most of the corals get around 450 PAR with a few getting as much as 500 PAR. Since I have a dimmable T5 with dimmable LED unit, the corals only get those sort of PAR during the PEAK hours which is around 5 hours or so. Its much lower either side of that.
Thank you! Glad you like the corals.
Wow, thanks Rev, thats a very nice compliment.

I dont have many LPS corals. I have 4 chalices, a large colony I've grown over two years, a pink Chalice and a green one which do fine with that much PAR. I have a 4th one which I have to keep in the shade or it bleaches.
I have a small acan colony I've been growing also for 2 years and that does fine as well.
Thanks man. Its one of my favorite pieces in my tank. It browned out a little due to the alk drops, but each day I am seeing its making progress.

Very nice Sahin! Your sps are looking good and healthy. I'm with you on the alk. I test for that more than anything now. I can get away from you quick if you don't monitor it often.
