Jackson's 115 Gallon Custom Cube 32x32x26

Yes, definitely something related to carbon dosing/feeding. I carbon dosed with prodibio in a previous much cleaner system, and was unable to get the red out. In this current system, with the heavy feeding and fish load, along with prodibio (carbon source), and maintaining fairly low nutrient, the red color was amazing.
The amount of vinegar that I added to the kalk was not enough to carbon dose the tank, and I am recently adding 20ml of vinegar daily to combat high nitrates. I do not believe vinegar to be the secret
That tenuis has the best color feeding heavily, nitrate level 5-10, po4 0.0-0.3, and dosing bioptim+biodigest ever 2 weeks. I have spread that coral around quite a bit over the last year and the only guys keeping red color carbon dose in one form or another.

That is very interesting. Thanks for the info.

Well after reading your numbers I decided to run home and test
My nitrates are 5-10 ppm closer to the 10ppm mark
And phosphates are solid at .02

Hey Arlin, Danny told me you're getting some red to the tenuis?

Hahaha yes the red are coming in at this point it's starting to develop new tips on the body . But it's still has a lot to go .

This is it about a month ago

 

[jackson6745]

Very cool. Hopefully as it branches out you see more red.You're definitely doing something right.

 

[reefmutt]

Hey Rich,
When I see your tank I feel like a beginner.
Hey I sent you a text a while ago did you ever get it?

Is it your first baby? Boy or a girl

 

[jackson6745]

First one Cugly, it's a boy due Mid-May.

 

[plyle02]

Nice pics Richard!
Your corals are glowing and you have an impressive fish collection too. Congrats on the baby boy!!!
Cheers

That ASD Millie is awesome, and the Pearlberry speaks for itself(of course I hear it say "I wanna come live in your tank Matt").:lol: Very cool fish pics as well, one thing I struggle with is getting good pics of the fish. That pic of the MH bulb shows why a reflector is so good at spreading out light- at first I thought you installed multiple bulbs!

 

[Jstn]

Love the rhomboid and linetatus, how do they get along in your tank?

The acros look ridiculously awesome as usual Richard but there's something a tad evil about your fish mate.......... :reading:

Don't think i'd put my hand in with this guy...........
