Hello,

Besides stable params and lighting.
What do you feed your Acros- Aminos, Reef chili/Roids and fish poop to have that color that pop!

Thanks!

I use a tsp of reef roids a few times a week mixed in with my regular fish food. Or sometimes if im spot feeding some corals ill mix some of that in too just to get them all to open up, it creates a great feeding response in all my lps

Yes, I bought the complete Red Sea colors dosing kit.
Didn’t buy the test kit though; seems many don’t and it’s actually rather hard to find for purchase to tell you the truth...
So I dose based off of Ca consumption.
And i dose half their recommendations, every other day...

I figured the tank ran fine before Red Sea colors, so it’ll run just fine at half their recommended doses... Plus I’m afraid of overdosing

Nothing. After doing it off and on over the years, I find it to be a waste of my time and that it does nothing. Others do not agree, but most who stop hardly ever start again.

I do feed my corals with the best artificial light possible... so that is something.

BTW - CaRx will add a lot of these elements that you do not get in 2 part... specifically potassium, strontium and others. I some ways, this is a more advanced way of replacing both macro and micro elements.

Fish is !

I had lost all my fish to velvet last year. I had been fishless for 5 months (thought about quitting), then added some fish back in. I cannot believe the difference. Color has come back, pe extension is coming back, plus I love the hobbie again.
