Wow that’s amazing, I am running classic balling how are your keeeping an eye on the trace elements?

Amazing!

Hi guys, thank you very much for your kind words! You are welcome!

Some updates and news.

I've been travelling during the last three weeks. After arriving I met the reef in a pretty good mood. I noticed good growth of my acros, only ciano algae appeared on the sand in some places. So I decided to use BOYD Chemiclean and ciano algae has gone in three days. And now nothing prevents me to share with you new pics!

Have a good day!

Thanks!

I do the water changes every week with the salt "Reef Crystals". This salt has a lot of additives, so I don't use any trace elements at all. I keep a close eye on KH from time to time.

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Amazing!

Hi!

About 2 months ago I decided to try new salt, Red Sea Salt instead of RC. Reef is going pretty well. Also I have changed the scape a little bit. So you can see updated version

Some photos for you!

Have a good day!

Hi, thanks! I use DC no-name skimmer with Jebao DC-1200 pump. From my point of view it works pretty well

Hi, Daniel

Thank you very much for your attention to a small reef!

To be honest I started to notice that colonies loose their bright color. Maybe the reason is that I started using the new salt bucket or changed RO filter. Goodness knows! My personal expirience tells me that a reef tank is a very complicated system with a lot of unknown elements. So my decision is just watch, change nothing and let the reef to re-esteblish the balance.

Just for comparison I would like to show you a transformation since 2017.
I warmly welcome you to enjoy a reef photos!

Man! This is gorgeous! I agree with you that usually my reef tanks have done best when I stopped trying to tune them.
