The directions for CV is every other day. You haven’t seen any adverse affects of dosing it every day?

No Adverse affects I can tell. Corals seem to like the stuff.

Definitely seems to be the biggest impact in a low nutrient system. Maybe I’ll do the same and see hope it goes. I follow almost exactly what you have with only a couple small differences.

I think the Oyster Feast helps as well. Corals really respond to the stuff. You don’t want to over do it though or you will be battling algae. Let me know how it goes with the CV. CV seems really like one of the safest to use since it does not add PO or NO3 to the tank.

Thanks! Really appreciate you sharing your schedule!

Another pictorial update. Been dealing with excessive Cyano, but I think we have turned the corner. Couple of corals showing signs of stress, so I sent in an ICP test to see if anything is off. Going to do a water change today too.
