Sure, the details of my build can be found here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/after-some-time-off-20in-modded-cube.346125/

but to save everyone some time:
-I use regular old Instant Ocean, as I have for the past 20 years. I tweak the Ca & Mg up slightly.
-Weekly 10% water changes
- infrequent vodka dosing if nutrients start to creep
-25w UV sterilizer plumbed to the return.
-chamber in sump full of live rock rubble, real live rock
- "Fiji" branch rock for the main structure. It wasn't live by the time it got off the boat, but it sat in the LFS vats for a few weeks.
- low-light cycle for maybe a month and a half, followed by a week or two with lights on. Pests were killed off during this time with Berghias and targeted peroxide applications.
- I did add some bottled bacteria at the start, don't remember what brand & don't think it matters.
- like all new tanks, sps didn't really take off until about 6 months in.
- flow is from a blueline hd 40 for the return and three mp10s
thanks!

Dr. Fragit Blue "O", I don't think many people have this one. Like every samoensis I've seen, it won't get all its colors until it gets big.

Love this type of acro! Nice colors your getting on that frag too. Never heard of dr fragit before, is it a hobbyist site?

Yeah, I'll have to look around. I might grab the 40mm macro too, since I have an orchid collection to photograph, as well. :)
