This is amazing greg!
The more corals grow,the more natural your tank looks!
The space under the rocks is awesome.

Can you pick you favorite coral in the tank?

Thank you & welcome to Reef Central!

Thanks again!! Yeah it is slowly getting to look natural but still a ways to go yet. The space under the rocks is not near as dark as it looks in pictures.
I am a coral hound so it is hard to pick an overall favorite so I generally settle on a fave of the week. :lol2:
I think this week it would be my Green dragon carduus.

Thanks very much. I think you may be referring to the picture of my monti cap "hodge-podge" - if that is the case it is a rather interesting chalice I got a few years ago in an order I received from Java.
That tabling stylo is something you don't see everyday, I believe it to be Stylophora Danae.

rideit6578 - awesome FTS

Thanks - glad you liked it.

Thanks for the compliment - sorry I will stop posting pictures immediately!!:lmao: I have the same problem when I look at other tanks and their sps selection. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. :hmm2:

Thanks for looking folks and all your generous remarks & support.

No reactor, I use dosers in my systems.

Ahhh it's a chalice, man I was fooled... it was the one above,the green cap in the Hodge podge: ) I have a Stylo like thst but it doesn't table out so much. It grew into one big flat ball, I still have a piece I am growing at again. I may hit it with more flow to see if it tables more.
Do you have any nubby acros? Stuff like humilis or anything similar?

How much are you dosing daily? Do you break it up in several doses to keep from spiking alk?

I started having issues on my old 75g when I hit 150ml a day.

Cool, I quite like stylos - mine is very flat looking.
Yeah that chalice is a rather odd piece.
As far as stubbies go, I only have one humilis type and it is still brown and quite small - anxious to see what it will do.

How much are you dosing daily? Do you break it up in several doses to keep from spiking alk?

I started having issues on my old 75g when I hit 150ml a day.

Presently the doser is adding about 12 ML an hour (x 24 hours) so about 288 ML per day of alk & ca. I will need to bump that up very soon.
In my previous setup when it was really going strong I was dosing well over a liter a day.

 

[Oldude]

I checked my doser today and I had forgotten I had increased the dosing of Ca to 24 ml x 24 per day which equates to 576 ML per day.

Regarding stubby branch acros, I had forgotten about theis A.samoensis

This one is from a wild Aussie - I call it my 'no name' as I am not sure of the proper ID. That said, it is one of my faves.

Any thoughts to go to a reactor? I got tired of making up gallons of two part every few weeks when my usage got really high.

I get what you are saying but I have no plans for a reactor. Even with heavy usage I typically only need to make up new two part every couple of months. If it gets to be too much I can easily get bigger holding tanks.:fun4:

 

[tofucube]

Wow. That wild Aussie one looks really nice! Kind of like pearlberry but more dense.
