Awesome baseball diamond shaped growth!!!

What's your secret? Don't tell me...... Steroids.

Nice Efflo as well!!!

Thanks, maybe I should call it "Fenway!"

Three things seem to have helped, although I have to say that coral has taken some surprising abuse.

1) Switched from 250W to 400W (12K) MH

2) Regular feeding with Oyster Feast

3) Switched from Ca Reactor and Kalk Reactor to 2-part.

The efflo is a little scary. I know I'm going to have to frag it, but I'm not sure how to do it without wrecking it.

Man it really had a growth spurt between April and September! Awesome. I want to get a big table when I get my 220. Any FTS?

I've added everyhing at one time or another, and I've mostly stopped. All I add now are a few drops of lugol's solution, Brightwell Potassium and Strontium twice a week. Plus I dose vodka-sugar-vinegar and Microbacter7.

It's the maid's day off. I really need to scrape some of the coralline and red doormat algae off of the tank. Maybe when it's a little more dolled up I'll take some FTS.
