Really appreciate that! We have a thread rolling with it as well if anyone wants to check that out as well! Here to try and bring new information all the time! Not a day goes by in reefing where you can't pick up something new!Nice video! I definitely recommend everyone take the time to watch this through whether you are a beginner or an expert! I even learned something new and my family has owned an aquarium store for 37 years!!
Saxby preset. Don’t have a par meter. The green and orange kind don’t remember the name. And I actually have beachbum Monti that’s doing better than those. And I try and put my sps frags high.if all lps in the tank, whats the par? or what setting do you have your lights on? Which kind of monti are you trying? some monti's have high par requirements.

I recently switched from the redsea program to the all for reef (granted I also switched my doser) and have seen much more stability. For smaller reefs, I love all the elements being dosed at once. I used the redsea elements to set what I wanted as a baseline and then made the switch and parameters have held stable since (took about a weeks worth of toying with the amount of dosing of all for reef). I 100% second this suggestion.That is impressive tank with that salt. I personally could not grow anything when I started with that particular salt. Congratulations.
Like others mentioned my suggestion is to use salt that has Alk in the 8 dKh. From my experience I find 7.5 dKh works well with SPS and low NO3 and PO4 values.
SPS are sensitive to Alk swings so I dose small amounts multiple times a day.
Something to consider is the use of Tropic Marin All For Reef. This product releases Alk gradually so it doesn’t create a spike and it can be dosed once a day by hand. It also includes trace elements so it makes the reef keeping of SPS easier at the start.
Good luck,
Mine doesn’t bother any coral. The most he will do is graze near a coral.Is that a bi color blenny in your pic? I have one that loves montipora. Does not bother anything else, just destroys montipora.
I do have the powder all in one abc+ skeletal elements.
