Cmon over. I am on a journey to simplifying the setup and also keeping Ph high. I moved to calcium reactor and Kalk combo. Also, have removed carbon and gfo in last 4 months. I am using MB7 once a week to remove any organic buildup. No phosphate buildup so far.

will be happy to walk through.

This is the shape of Millepora that got me to love Millepora. Can’t wait for it to grow into a giant colony. This guy is not getting fragged anytime soon. It’s too symmetric to be chopped.

I absolutely love the Wrecking Ball Goniopora. It’s “tube” is dark pink, while the polyps are orange with yellow center. Its grown in my tank for over 8 yrs now and way over fragged. Leaving her alone to grow to a colony this time.
