Just at month 5 now and I never did put together a build thread so I figure I would just do a quick update here. I am doing weekly 20% water changes, I am doing 2 part dosing...I have to dose a lot to keep my alk around 9 for some reason and calcium hovers around 420, mag around 1450. I have bought a decent number of frags mostly from WWC when they do their sales and I also won a few eBay bids (some a little unexpected). Things are growing well, my Hammer is currently going from 3 heads to 7, 2 of the heads are now 3 each! The Cyphastrea I have are probably going to be a problem down the road as fast as they are growing but that is ok. The Favias and Lords are all showing multiple growth as well. Overall, very excited at the growth! The only coral that has some loss is a blasto so I moved it because I think the flow was too high.
The key seems to definitely be good husbandry and monitoring the tank levels. I really appreciate all the people on R2R! I don’t post much but I do scan through the threads and have learned a lot from everyone here. Hereare some picks from mid-Feb.
