yep, stability it key, i try to keep it at these parameters:

Alk 7.5dkh
Ca 400ppm
Mg 1300ppm
Po4 0.03 (Hanna meter)

superb growth....awesome setup...:thumbsup:

awesome, and over the shorter days of the year too!

what is your nitrate level? how do you supplement alk, Ca, and Mg?

Thanks.

Thanks. To be honest I have not tested Nitrates in months...rather have focused on the Po4 levels. Will check though this weekend again.

I supplement via a calcium reactor, I have about 9kg of Brightwells aragonite media and 1kg of their Mg media. When dialled in, it gives me perfect parameters as posted above.

That's some awesome growth in such a short period! How is the coloration coming along?

Thanks. Color is improving, most noticeable is the cats paw (stylopora) with its ruby/pink tips. I've added a lime green plating monti frag. These have been a drab brown/dirty green ever since I've introduced them to the sunlight. Will use it as an indicator, it should turn a nice lime green color.

Anyways its so great to be able to come home from work and still be able to view the tank into the evening.

The color temperature of the actual sun is amazing for display, I had no idea.

yes it is and it has a rather low Kelvin rating too, like 6500K depending on the time of day.

As you found out the hard way, you can't have caulerpa and zero phosphates. Any time you start to get your phosphate reading low, your caulerpa will crash and leak all that organic material back into the water.

I've harvest as much of the macro as possible in order to avert a total meltdown...though i still have a bit left which in itself is still soaking up PO4.

Adee looking better and better well done!! imagine you had a time lapse camera tracking that growth!

Beautiful work man, followed this one from the start and has come together beautifully.

Thanks Kinlayan! I try and assume the exact same position with my tripod . Although a 4 month gap gives you a sense of something actually has grown.

Thanks mate. That would be correct.

Thanks Bud. Hopefully by end of the year it will look more dense, although empty real estate is slowly becoming less. And I still got corals i want to seed into this tank.

my angel

my angel

There you go Kinlayan....my Majestic angel. Sorry for the poor pics, but he is still skittinsh in the nursery tank, I had to stand far away from the tank and take this shot with my tele lens...through dirty glass nog al.

 

[kinlayan]

Thank you Adee , what a beautiful angel can see it's a relatively young fish .
Keep the divider up until he establishes some territory and watch for aggression , I'd suggest your next angel a pyglopites(yellow throat).

 

[amfynn]

Regal angel it is!....If I may ask...what should the next one be?

Would it be better to intro 2 new fish together, also adding the majestic...all 3 at the same time to the DT?

 

[shannonpayne86]

Got one the same mate here is my little beauty, about 2 inches.....
