While I have seen your threads and pictures, and have no doubt you know how to color up and grow SPS. Many, many people use all 3 or a combination of those three without issues with SPS, myself included.Are you carbon dosing? Using vibrant? Gfo?
Is this a "new" system?The white part increased a bit this morning. So I cut it off above the STN'd part and put the healthy bit on a new plug. Anything else I should do? Thank you!!
Good question. Looking again at the pic, it looks like it might be a QT system, and while the eggcrate has some crusty stuff on it, the tank (from what I can see in the pic) looks pretty clean.Is this a "new" system?
I don’t contribute every problem to 1 of those 3. It’s a good baseline question for stn on new frags in what looks like an immature tank. Why don’t you let the OP answer the question instead of harping on me for trying to help.While I have seen your threads and pictures, and have no doubt you know how to color up and grow SPS.

I really wish you would stop contributing every problem with SPS on one of those three.
Wow!! Did two people just disagree in a non elevated way and didnt have to start a war to see who was righter?!! Kudos @homer1475 I wish more people would take this approach and not take every comment on a thread as a personal attackHa lol that was from windex lol. But I see your point. I'll stop derailing the thread.
Like I said, I have no doubt you know your stuff.
I apologize for snapping back like that but it was a little frustrating coming from you. You know I spend a lot of time trying to help ppl not inadvertently kill corals. But anyways. Sorry about thatOnly beacuse I know he knows his stuff when it come to SPS. Just have a look at his picture thread, or any pictures he posts.
I personally have used all 3 with no ill effect to any of my coral, but I also don't keep collector SPS. I just find the prices to be too insane, but I do keep SPS none the less.
It is a QT system, yes. I guess it's technically fairly new - been running since June but it's seeded with media from my DT which has been running about 10 months. I have acans, hammers, digis, scolys, and montis in there right now as well. They are all doing very well, and I know the parameters for success can vary for those as opposed to acros. I do weekly water changes for stability, only adding aminos right now and running carbon.Good question.

I have "challenged" people many times (hopefully in a nice way) to show me a healthy acro tank without fish. Still have not seen one.What are the parameters? No fish?
No fish, one astrea snail. 10g system.What are the parameters? No fish?
Any idea what the par is?No fish, one astrea snail. 10g system.
Alk - 7.9
Ca - 430
Mg - 1350
I need to check nitrates and phosphates.
This is in a QT system, so while ideally the frags will thrive, if in this new-ish system the best I can hope for is that they will survive for six weeks until I can put them in my DT, I can live with that :/
