Nothing special in my husbandry, been doing it the same way for over a decade. I have a lot of fish that I feed heavily, topoff evaporation with kalk saturated water and occasional homemade two part (baking soda and CaCl)usage. I have a big skimmer (regal 300) and lots of flow ( over 20,000+ gph in 300DD).

Do you keep your kalk top off at the same levels as the tank? And I'm somewhere between novice and intermediate can you explain the baking soda process why and how?

Thumbs up! The color difference in the aussie colonies is significant.

I'd be very happy with the color and growth you're getting.
Loving that efflo (one of my favorite corals :) )

Nice progress man, Hey can you help me with my pink lemonade, mines was a little like yours it was greenish yellow when i got it but then turned blueish purple, i see yours was blueish purple then colored up nicely, is it the stronger lighting? I picked up the pink lemonade under leds, then got it home to 175w metal halides for a week, now i switched everything over to running 8 bulb ati t5 frag tank, about 4 days under t5s now. First row middle is the oink lemonade that turned blue/purple

Hard to say but I'd recommend increased flow and lighting. Mine has always looked best under high light and flow.
