Do you use the probiotic or the reef salt?
I use both...lol. Earlier I used to do only reef salt but then as my tank demand increases and nutrient level decreases I use 1:1 ratio of both. The amino and vitamin helps with my nutrient level.

Anirban,
Your reef and corals are amazing.

(lol)
Bought time for the tank upgrade... :)
Thanks Freddie. I took these pictures after a long time. Life was crazy since last few months as my mother in law went through an urgent surgery for her cancer. But she us doing good now. We are building our new house and I planned my upgrade for the new tank but need to refocus on that soon. How is your wife doing?:)

Anirban,
I am happy your mother is doing good for now, and she'll be in our prayers.

Angelia is doing well too. Thanks for thinking about her.

Amazing colors! Wish I could get my colors as vivid as yours, think I'm running too much light and not enough nutrients. Is your new build going to be linked here?
Thanks, colors were never a problem for me as I always used aquaforest for the system . I think the balanced system helps a lot with the colors. I have quite high lights too but I think you need a bit of nutrients with it to get better color.
My new build will start possibly soon and I will put a link here so that everyone can follow.

Time for monthly photo dump. The tank is doing well and things are steady as rock thanks to Aquaforest dosing schedule. Its been a long journey and I am quite happy how it turned up. On another note the new house is getting ready so need to start the new build thread and plans soon.

I recently tested my PAR reading and got a good answer why I never have any issues with colouring up corals. My whole upper part of tank 6 inches under water is getting 500 PAR. and here are the results...
