I'm tired of drooling.We need to thank CRT for his sharing, I started following this method a few months ago and my corals have never been as good as they are now.
I think the same30'ish
This was the closest guess, nitrates were at 3.6!1-5 ppm
Nice! What par range are these pieces getting?This was the closest guess, nitrates were at 3.6!

Nope, I lower my numbers by feeding . The concoction that I’ve made is the main driverWeren’t your NO3 around 40ppm? How did you get it so low?
Do you use a refugium/algae scrubber.
There has to be nuance to this answer, on the surface a nitrate test value is an indicator of the systems ability to process nutrients. A system that has a value of 0 ppm can have the same coloration as a system that had 40 ppm. But then you also have to look at this scenario holistically and examine the feed input into these systems and lengths that these systems take to remove nutrients.Do you find a color difference with nitrate levels? I’ve been keeping mine elevated above 30 and found better coloration but could be other factors as well.
I'm just now joining this thread. At what post can I find out what "this method" entails? Its enticing!
Can you give me the recipe to the concoction?Nope, I lower my numbers by feeding . The concoction that I’ve made is the main driver
Have a quick read, at the time of writing this Michael was using V2 of the concoction.Can you give me the recipe to the concoction?
74-78 FWhat temperature do you keep your reef at?

This is what ocean water usually is like, and what systems like zeovit strive for. But now I'm sure you don't see the pitfalls of the zeovit system and super pale sps.
I noticed my nitrates were consistently between 0-5ppm after about a month of starting your method. Before that my nitrate was at 20-30ppm.
I didn't change anything about the lighting or flow. Contrary to what people usually think (including myself), that SPS will fade when the nutrient levels are too low or almost zero, all the SPS in my tank have been developing vibrant colors despite my super low nitrate levels for at least the past 3 months. The growth rate and polyp extension are really good. I'll leave the picture here so you and everyone can judge for yourselfThis is what ocean water usually is like, and what systems like zeovit strive for. But now I'm sure you don't see the pitfalls of the zeovit system and super pale sps.
What has changed specifically in your coral? the color? growth? Tissue?

This video should explain the core ideas. Trying to culture the concoction requires an ultra sterile environment. If you can’t ensure that then I wouldn’t recommend it long term. Mix and use within 3-5 days, and if it looks and smells off in any way toss immediately and reset if you want.
Currently innovating the method so it doesn’t have these pitfalls.
