Man your corals are loving life!
 
Thank you! In all honesty I have no idea what my nitrates or phosphates are. Those are number I only chase during a cycle or a newer reef system after that the numbers I only care about checking on are calcium, magnesium and my dKH value. After a while you get to know visibility what a healthy reef tank should look like how a healthy coral should behave and look and key in on certain red flags that might stand out to you so you can tweak things here or there.

Some people have vastly different coloration/growth based on slight changes to their nutrient levels, so I'm always curious what people's test at. I figured you monitored that stuff since you were carbon dosing. I like the approach though, testing is annoying haha.

What about feeding? I had asked if you only broadcast or target some like chalices etc. I'm curious, again, always want to know what successful tanks have going on [emoji106]
