Quick update. A good friend of mine has been dosing potassium for a while now and he finally twisted my arm far enough to the point where Im now dosing. Using Red Sea Coral Colors K & Trace Supplement. I've only been dosing at 15ml every other day. I started out at 10ml every other day for the first week and will stick with the 15ml as my maintenance dose. On week three. The only thing I have noticed is a couple red tables (green at the moment) are starting to gain a pink pigmentation to them and my blues seem to be a lot richer. I have noticed greater polyp extension. I will be getting a K test kit (Red Sea) to see where Im at on my levels but at the moment not too worried and seem pretty happy.

I dose RS B (pinks & reds), C (yellows & greens), D (blues & purple) 30ml wkly and Acropower 20ml daily.

Are you satisfied with the outcome? How long have you been dosing?

I just started up again a few weeks ago. I used to do it in the 125 and liked the results. I am seeing the purple returning in the bonsai, green in the monticap that was nearly gone and look at the blueberry fields blue! Ignore right side damage (direct water flow)

And I have no idea what color this acro is supposed to be but it is showing signs of green and pink. plus the table I attached below it has deep green tips now.

So yes Andy, I'm pretty happy with the results so far :D

WOW looks great! Keep it up! Your SPS are looking awesome! They look really healthy.

Thank you! It seems like such a battle all the time and then they stn or something... I am FINALLY beginning to feel like I can keep acros :D That one with the pink tips has been clay grey since day one (10months) ... it's a great feeling!

 

[spspirate]

It sure is! Keep it up! It's so rewarding and definitely a fun challenge. Find that sweet spot and stick with it. No two reef tanks are alike.

Thanks Andy :) your tank is great inspiration!

 

[spspirate]

Water change at low tide top down. Still a lot of real estate for corals.

Update. Nothing too much here lately. Still doing 10% water changes weekly and dosing potassium and using Bio Calcium by Tropic Marin. I did change my GFO from BRS to ROWA. Here are a couple shots of a few corals.
