[JGoslee]

Everything in this tank is in a lot of light. :D Do they look washed out? I think they look pretty good.

 

[msman825]

not as bad as mine, mine are really high, but i get great growth there.

 

[JGoslee]

Charlie what kind of lights are they under? They don't look bad. I've seen some that are brown.

I think the ultralith is a bunch of crap. I've been using it for about 3 1/2 months and the only good things I see are cyrstal clear water and good polyp extension. My tank has been setup for almost a year now and I haven't had any nuisance algae since last summer. In the last 3 weeks I've had cyno, and brown slime covering everything. If you look on the ultrlith thread on rc most of the people running it have the same thing happening. I stopped using it 3 days ago. The whole point of ultralith is to have a low nutrient system and the exact opposite is happening.

I have a good friend of mine who is using the same method . He had the same problem but then he dropped the dosage and its doing good right now. I saw his tank and the SPS colors really popped out. Im still scared to try it but just doing my method (pappone,AA and Vitalizer) I am happy :)...

 

[JGoslee]

Steve can you explain what the (pappone,AA and Vitalizer) is?

 

[I-K@ndY]

pm sent..

 

[JGoslee]

Thats interesting stuff Steve. I might give that a try. Since I still have a lot of the ultralith left Im going to cut all the doses in half and see if the nuisance algae clears up.

 

[I-K@ndY]

Thanks.. yeah do it slow and if you do try it let me know.. if you want more pics of my sps ill send em to you thanks

I really like this pic. This is the one I entered in the photo contest.

This a pic of a rock with purple deaths on one side and nuclear greens on the other side. It should be pretty nice once it fills in.

 

[Azurel]

I have a clam shell I did that with.....:) Gonna look sweet...

 

[JGoslee]

At the rate these are growing that rock should be filled by summer! I started with 2 polyps of purple death and 2 polyps of nuclear greens around January. Now I'm up to 18 polyps of nuclear green and 10 polyps of purple death.
