All the frags have now been for two weeks. Now time to watch paint dry and see how things go. Sorry I do not have fancy lenses or a good way to color match what I see in real life. Not good with the camera yet.

Still a little early I think... only the the slimer has truly grown. Figures hahaMaybe seeing some encrusting or still too early?
I wonder is the different strains and the microbacter clean made the difference? It will be interesting to see if this is consistent with the tanks BRS are cycling. They are planning on using Microbacter clean after the cycle in a couple of the tanks. Nevertheless, good work! I’ll be cycling my 310 in the next few months and would like to minimize the ugly phase as much as I can. My last tank had a bad case of Dinos.Thank you! I didn't "try" to skip the ugly phase.. Just seemed to have a very small one. I had the fuge running really early and took a slightly different approach to bacteria adding then most.
Added the initial turbostart,then dosed ( small amount) every 2 days Microbacter 7 for 3 months, then dosed microbacter clean (small amount) every 2 days for 2 months. I have stopped dosing bacteria about a month ago.
This could be pure luck and no science.

I bet that it did help with not having an ugly phase. Did you notice any issues with your macroalgae dosing microbacter clean? When you say “a small amount” can you quantify that for us?Thank you!

Thank you! I mean there is a lot of build threads out there... hahaLove this build! Can’t believe I haven’t seen it before. FOLLOWING!
Sorry about the regal sampling a lesser sps. Are you going to remove the coral or keep it in there to keep the regal occcupied?My regal was caught doing a bit of nipping on a SPS luckily it wasn't and Acro, mili, or anything I truly like... so he wins between that coral or him.
I have added a decent amount of new acros and milis to the system. All the original acros have fully encrusted and have new growth tips.
I have been dabbling in the KZ product line a little. No way to truly prove it did anything, but I have never had fresh cuts heal, encrust, and have new growth tips within a month on a young system.
Using FlatwormStop, Coral Booster, Phols Extra, Sponge Power, Aminos
Could totally be a scenario where you want to see something and you convince yourself you see it.

I've been using FlatwormStop a couple years now at 1/2 dose mainly for the encrusting benefits. Just purchased Phols to see what it can do for me. How are you dosing the KZ products?
BTW, You can't post without sharing some eye candy.
I wanna see! If truly new growth tips that would be pretty fast! Or maybe my corals just seemed to encrust forever.
