Wonderful frags. What are the current parameters you need to keep so that they make growth and color?
Or is it all about the lamp?
In my system, the chalices do not feel very well.

Hey Aleks. Parameters run as follows. dKH 7-8, Calcium 380ppm, Magnesium 1450ppm. Specific Gravity 1.026 The Radion brings out great color and grows LPS at a normal rate. As for acropora not so much. Color is good but growth is very slow. Im planning on adding some T-5's to see if this will change for the better.

Do you have detectable nutrients? What are your parameters?

:DI know right!!...LOL
They really don't understand the addiction do they? Half the fun is in the build! LOL

My husband realized that we actually had FOUR tanks running when he came home last time from being on the road. So he's like how did we manage to get 4 of them?! And when? So I'm laughing hysterically saying you saw me doing it all along doofus, gee goes to show how much attention you really pay to me (guilt trip) LOL

Yea Jackie. My family likes to glance at the reef from time to time but they don't get a fraction of the satisfaction I get from it:)
