Do I recall correctly that at one point you had butterflies in your tank? If so, do you still keep them?

I believe he has a separate tank dedicated to butterflies that eat SPS. I know on another forum he frequents he posted some videos and images. It is pretty impressive to be honest.

Once you manage to grow healthy corals, butterflies is O.K. to keep in a reeftank

Replace old lamps and adding 25% more light seems to please these 2 coral very much.
In the recent weeks the colors are improving and day by day.
The fox is get more fluorising green
The stylopora is getting more pink every day

Glenn, thanks for sharing all of your techniques. Few questions:

What foods are you feeding right now? Any idea how much in mass and water content (dried vs frozen)?
How are you doing your powerfilters so fast? It takes me 10 minutes just for one!
Are you finding that K, B, I, Mn, and Fe (if trace, not for P reduction) dosing is fixed or do you have to adjust?
How much do you have to adjust N and P controls, for example how often to adjust NO3 dosing?
Have you measured PAR levels in any of your tanks?

Thanks, have a great weekend!
