Looks like most are all doing very well!
Nothing like a good old stag as it matures.

I think the polyps are going to explode.
Sorry for the crappy photos. I took them with my phone.

Look at all that good green growth!

 

[Schplitter]

I think my is broken. No movement at all that I can tell. Everything does look happy and I do see a little growth with the Montipora I have.

I do have my G3 Radions set on 75% max LPS program. 16" off the water too. I wonder if that needs to change to the high growth program and higher intensity maybe.

That spath looks like it's holding its color too.:thumbsup:

Look into the coral a and B program. Chucklez Van shed more light on it than me though.

I didn't pay to much attention to it tonight while the lights were on I'll try and snap a picture of it and the slimmer tomorrow.

Holding out on my May pic till I get out of my hair algae situation. Had a small magnet bust open. I am not sure when it happened. I am not sure if that is my problem or something else. I removed the magnet 5 days ago. I added 6 Turbos and 6 astrea snails this weekend and a sea hare last weekend. Still the hair algae seems to be spreading.
PO4 = .03 on Hanna Low range
ALK = 8.5
Cal = 350
Mag = 1350

Are you referring to the Echo Tech Marine white paper? SPS AB+?

Yes

 

[Schplitter]

Yes

Yes sir. I'm running the LPS program now on 70% max. I like the colors better with this one than the other two choices. I increased it today to 80% over the next 3 weeks. Hope that helps. My P04 may be hindering the growth. I need to drop it another .02

What is it at? (Po4)

Since I left for vacation it has gone up to .08. My sitter didn't harvest the Cheato. It started dying from overcrowding and burning from the LED's. Im pretty sure he also fed a lot more than usual as I only saw him coming by 4 times on the cameras and all 8 of the pre-measured containers were gone in addition to 4 of the frozen food. Next time I'll just prep what's needed instead of extras and hide he rest.

These were the instructions in addition to being instructed to only come every other day and not feed more than one cup of his choice each day he comes:
