Update, nothing too exciting here lately. Been dosing B-Ionic for alkalinity and calcium and Seachems Reef Advantage magnesium. Im running ROX carbon and BRS's GFO and am very happy with my water parameters. Starting to grow magenta and lavender color coralline algae. Also I've been feeding the corals BRS Reef Chili for a nutrient supplement. I've been adding frags and they're starting to color up to my parameters and are basing out nicely. So far so happy with the out come. I haven't focused on my fish load too much here lately but will add them when the time comes. Have yet to do a water change..Ha! Purchased salt today maybe I'll do one this weekend.

Not much action. Gearing up for our newborn coming next month! Reef is full of frags but buying any more coral for now is at a little stand still until little man gets here:) Decided to bump up my halides to 400's I'll get some picks this Sunday.

If I had a dollar for every time someone told me " you better get your sleep now because....." Im sure it's going to be a crash course no matter how prepared I am. Looking forward to it though!!
