Looking good. How is that Walt Disney doing? I'm using halides now and I'm amazed at what a change of lighting can do.

So here it is when I first got it November 14th

And here is how it looks today, note I turned the lights on just for this shot so it's a little upset. And my crappy phone cannot begin to show you the color this coral has

Very nice. I can see it coloring up nicely. Mine is doing good as well. I've seen people say they are fast growers but I believe it's the opposite.

I've heard from other people that for the first month while it encrusted it's kind of slow, but after that it takes off. I'm super excited for that!

Picked up this bad boy today!!

 

[Crabs McJones]

I need to pick up some stuff, but shes mounted in the cabinet! Need to pick up tubing, and likely some new heads as this unit sat for a while and the tubes felt like they were caked up.

 

[Crabs McJones]

Well! Crabs is officially auto dosing! After many ups delays due to the weather, my new dosing pump heads came in along with new tubing and fittings to turn my mixing jugs into reservoirs I'm super excited to see how this goes. The 2 part doses at opposite times of the day. Alkalinity from midnight to noon, and calcium from noon to midnight, set up this way itll dose 1ml every 10 minutes. Both empty out into the return chamber of the sump right by the head of the pump to make sure it doesn't settle out. But I'll have to watch that just incase. My trial run proved to work, but well have to see long term
