So, I had a major setback :loudly-crying-face: - dKh went so high that Hanna only showed an error reading it. I lost a few of my nicer SPS, but the system has bounced back nicely;). A quick little video of the current state.



Tank still looks really good!!

Thanks! It’s weird how some corals don’t seem to care about very high DKH yet others completely get wiped out. I understand the process/chemistry behind it, but it doesn’t make it any easier to lose pieces that you’ve been hunting for.

…back on the hunt!

Typical, big corrections (whole bottles) the first few icp's now not that much. Figured out my consumption on strontium, potassium, nickel and flouride and dose that weekly. Up to 5x on the dailies, .08 ml iodide for 275 gallons. Except iron, one acro turned really green and I cut that back to .05ml. I do small WC's to clean out the detritus as needed. My tank is heavily grown in and I have 2 frag tanks off it so big draw on the elements. Yes big changes, makes sense WC's weren't working as well for me. I dose at night but it probably doesn't matter
You going to FFM?
Would like to pick your brain a little more with regards to the moonshine method.

Some new SPS pieces that I picked up over the weekend at Frag Farmers Market (FFM) in Mansfield Connecticut.

Work has been crazy, It just dawned on me that I haven’t really posted any updates, the tank really has been on cruise control.

Here is a progress pic sorry about the overly blue hue.

And here’s an updated picture of when I first started the moonshiner's (12 months back) method (top photo) til recently (bottom).
