Ever run icp tests? Seems like most people(myself included) tend to need to supplement a little iodine, potassium and strontium if your salt mix doesn't have them in it. Wondering if you ever run into that issue and if you supplement anything?

I haven’t done an icp test. I’ve tested potassium and it was normal. Not sure what the strontium and iodine levels are but I did send away for a triton test about a year ago and all seemed fine. I’m not having color isssues. Last month I had a couple large colonies just RTN overnight. My alk was 7 and stable. 95% of the corals are fine, but a few look unhappy still. It’s not a pest. I’ve experienced aefw and nudis and I’m positive it’s neither. One of the corals impacted was a lepto. But I have the same coral in the same water under different lights and it’s fine. Also had a larger colony 5 inches from a frag of the same coral, colony died, frag is growing.

My alk is being consumed at levels I’ve never seen before and recently had to start adding kalk to my ATO as well as two part being dosed in addition to the calcium reactor. I’ve seen growth increase even more with bumping alk up to 8.5.
 
WOW absolutely amazing! Ill be happy if my tank looks 1/10 as good as yours!!

Tried out the ICP test, but nothing really stood out to me as off.
Boron seems low but from what I read there's not a lot of impact known at this time.
Molybdenum is also zero, unsure if this matters?

Been awhile. Had some issues with low nitrates. I’m now dosing nitrates and skimmer has been off for over two months. The refugium is growing like crazy.

Took a few updated pictures last night. About a month ago I moved a frag of Walt Disney into the highest light spot I have, just a few inches below a Radion and t5. The colors are really getting impressive even under white lights.

What an amazing tank. I'm enjoying following along. What's the name of this coral?
