Iodine, Molybdenum, and Manganese are good for corals, you want to bring those up. Water change should work.

Iron should come up some, but too much causes algae.

I'd bring those phosphates up some.

Ok thank you! This torch came with those already on it. That’s good to know they are harmless. Will this bud form a skeleton or fall of and attach somewhere else?

Depends on if it is an actual bud. You said it has a flesh band? When a new bud forms, it will have the colors of the parent. That looks brown.

Gotta figure out how to bring phosphates up as I already auto feed pellets twice a day and feed benereef 3x a week. Maybe get some reef roids? I hear they bump up phosphates

 

[Rocks reef]

wait. after I sear it? I usually season before the sear.

You can sir. I usually sear it then coat it really well. I find if I coat it first, some of the Montreal comes off.

That would replenish itself in water changes. You could also find a good trace element mix.

I thought about a trace elements additive but then I worried about pver dosing unless I start doing consistent icp tests

back to scarborough today?

Nope! Got it done yesterday. Stayed late so I didnt have to drive down again haha

So its UV just better. I prolly wont use it unless I have adult supervision setup etc

Totally different and not necessarily better. At this point in your reefing journey, it isn't necessary and that money could be spent elsewhere.
UV is radiation in simple terms produced by a specific light spectrum.
Ozone is 'super charged oxygen', it is O3 whereas oxygen is O2.
As mentioned, there are MANY beautiful reef tanks that use neither.

The magnesium supplement I use adds strontium and Boron. Your MG looked really good though, maybe there's another way to dose it. Im not 100% sure how impotence it is honestly

I hope its not impotence! :winking-face-with-tongue:

NeoPhos is easy and very controllable.

Thank you!!! its all from learning from everyone on Reef2reef. All your tanks inspire me to make mine look this good!
I love my diamond goby he keeps my sand so clean lol but he is such an butt. I’m constantly blowing blowing sand off corals.

True, I have a bottle of Sodium Phosphate that I dose when needed.

My brother and his wife made three trips to China to adopt their daughters. They were assigned a guide and translator, probably kept an eye on them for the government, and my brother had to have him help steer them away from things on the menu such as dog soup.

Oh cmon Kevin, a little hot sauce and some minced white onions?

 

[kingranch2003]

Oh dear Jesus. Im 100% not editing that. Let the chips fall where they may lolol

Up from .5? Idk man, why do you want to raise it?

You would be amazed at how much this chicken tastes like gator! I’m loving the garlic aioli.
