Wow, Vivid has seriously stepped up their SPS game! I was just in LA in Oct and didn't have time to stop by! Darn it! I'll be back though!

Standard 2 part from brightwell

What were the reasons for using 2-part instead of calrx for such a large volume of water?

How about a few updated pics for the new year!!

That last pic looks like an ocean with a little island on it, with one tree

How about some side shots as the corals were falling asleep last night.

Just crackin' colors on your corals! Some of those shots are just crazy with variety, very nice.

Those group shots you just posted are absolutely ridiculous. I dare say, the nicest selection of acros I have ever seen, and I had no idea. Why on earth don't you sell frags of all of these on your website/on reef2reef/ebay?

Standard 2 part from brightwell. It’s a 1200 gallon system. Most of these are in a frag tank that are plumbed into our 800 gallon display. We monitor iodine, potassium and strontium. We also dose reef energy once or twice a week. That’s about it. There’s nothing special going on in that tank. We barely do water changes and leave it alone. Low nitrates and phosphates.

What do you target for iodine, potassium and strontium, and do you use hobby grade test kits or icp analysis?

Thanks!

Wow! Just look at all those colors, thanks for the update pictures, I'm going on your website now.

Thank you very much for the kind words... it’s a lot of work and maintenance getting these colors and keeping them this healthy every day. We use frequent ICP testing to ensure all of our trace elements and standard elements are always in line.

No problem! What levels do you target for iodine, strontium and potassium?

Also, what kind of changes do you make to bring out the colors in certain corals in that tank, just adjust the position in the tank horizontally? Do you believe the change in flow does the trick because I assume the lighting throughout is similar? Or, do you just give them all time? I noticed with one you said you found the "sweet spot".

Thanks!
