Just read your whole thread, incrediblely healthy corals, wish we had access to corals like this in the UK.

I don’t see why not. It’s definitely possible to find some of these pieces, but it may be hard to find the exact strain. I’ve been slowly collecting over the years and some pieces I’ve not seen a duplicate of.Just read your whole thread, incrediblely healthy corals, wish we had access to corals like this in the UK.
Is it possible to find corals like these in imported maricultured corals?
Keep up the good work
Currently have a few types cookin up!Rojo dojo is amazing, you have any other spaths cooking up?
Check out post 1157Outstanding. What is your lighting and schedulE. I saw it’s a g5 blue? But couldn’t find the setting, intensity etc.

See if you can spot them!

Close! That one is my starlite colony, super bright. The spath is actually on the other side, it’s a bit hard to see but it’s also gold right now.Thick looking yellow stick behind the rojo, thats my best guess too hard lol
Are you dosing nutrients on both? I think I remember you talking about dosing no3 on one of them, ammonia? sodium nitrate?Looks wise, both systems are pretty similar. Very little nuisance algae growth and I rarely have to buff the glass for film algae. Both systems are fairly established and have a robust clean up crew and tangs.
Regarding the color on the corals, I’d say things are almost identical between both systems. Frags don’t seem to shift color when I transfer them around. The main difference between the two systems is that I run t5+radions on one tank and only radions on the other.
In regards to growth, I’d say the system with lower nitrates and phosphates grows acros slightly faster but only by a slim margin.
Not anymore, I was dosing potassium nitrate for a bit but then my potassium rose a bit too high (around 490) so I stopped. As of late I’ve just been feeding more and using my leftover jar of reef roids.Are you dosing nutrients on both?

I've never used it, the three I mentioned I feel are very geared towards SPS and I think work well without following the full zeovit regimen.Did you ever mess with kz spongepower? I never used any of the kz stuff and figured the spongepower was the basic beginner additive to olay around with. Smells like an acid, which of the other ones do you thinks the most beneficial.
Love it. Ratio is so much more important than the individual numbers themselves. Years back I had a tank that was wall to wall sticks. It had a moorish idol and regal angel in it and I was feeding like mad to keep these guys happy and healthy and to keep them from sampling acropora. The colors and growth were amazing. I was always hesitant to test my nitrate and phosphate because I kind of knew I wasn’t going to like the numbers. Had to use an API nitrate kit because salifert was not easy to gauge at those levels. Shocked (but not really) that nitrates were 40 and phosphates were over .2, but there they were, colorful and happy sticks with no algae in the tank. Perfect example of not to chase the numbers but heed the ratio.Quick update on nutrients. These tests were done on my 150 gallon which is about 5-6 years old with 25 fish.
Tested the phosphates and nitrates today and here were the results.
The phosphates translates to .331 ppm.
This leads to the ratio of nitrates to phosphates to be approximately 112:1
