[Luis Figueroa]

Thank you all. I've been on r2r for about a month now and it's enriching information can get overwhelming but knowledge is power and you can't never know enough about reefing!!

Love seeing everybody's fts and top down pictures of their full grown colonies grown out from frags. I hope to get to that point with my tank and frags so I'll keep a track and post once they start showing signs of happiness haha

update on my tank! went through a bad swing in parameters and lighting plus salinity. now I have everything in check my colors went away but are now recouping. my lights are ocean revive t247 whites were at 60%! needless to say my corals got sun burnt but got it squared away now , salinity was 1.030, calcium 600, alk 10.8 and mg 1550. did wc for salinity now at 1.026 and adjusted dosing ca is now 480 alk 8.8 mg 1250 n03 .75ppm and p04 is .04. growth rates were stunned a little. apologize for the poor picture quality.
