My Red Dragon must be fraged.
After the change that I made in the fixtures support it starts to STN from the base.
I think it was because the light became too strong for it .
Yesterday I broke the colony in 2 pieces and put 1 piece in the small island, very close to the bottom and the other one in the big island, upper in the reef but not directly bellow any fixture.
Let's see if one of them can make it.

Besides that I also bought:

echinata green
milepora red
gomezi purple
hyacinthus pink blue tips
subulata purple
stylophora pink
austera banana
montipora superman
psamocora green

I think that I'm close to what I want from sps now....

Today's test results:

Ra: 7,65 dKH
Ca: 450
K: 430

Ra droped a little so I open the outlet of my Ca reactor a tiny bit.....And I will check again next week.
I think that colonies start to consume Ra a little faster, due to growth.

Your tank and corals are absolutely beautiful. You're definitely doing something right with your chemistry and lighting as the corals alls seem to be growing pretty quickly.

I love your aquascape. You did a fantastic job planning for that space and balancing the view from all angles.
