Haven't done much with my tank. Corals have been getting good growth though. Should be upgrading within the next month. Bought a 10 eye mummy chalice for $40, steal of the month for me. Enjoy.

good growth? Based on when I saw it, I'd say "great growth" and also "great" color. You are doing something right! Your only future issue will be to many colonies.

I might have been down to do that. I might see Leo this weekend. Would you still be interested? Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it to FRAG. Got a big exam coming up this Saturday :/

Damn you're dosing that much!? I'm only at 24 mil per day 24 times a day.

Dude, Your tank is smaller than my sump.. Thats why 100 mls :lmao: My "recommended" Dose is 1 ml per gallon. My water volume is about 125-130 gallons. My alk is 7.5 (want to raise to 9) calcium is around 330 (want to raise it to mid 400's) magnesium is around 1450.

I told myself I wouldn't upgrade for at least a year but my tank is getting too packed and I need more room. I lasted almost 5 months so yeah, mission failed. Hopefully this tank will last me at least two or three years.. that's what I'm hoping for at least.

I moved everything to the new tank already. Thankfully, none of my livestock has died. It's been a success! I was very worried about the move but thankfully, I took all the proper precautions to move it and everything has made it.
Here it is in it's proper location, replacing the old cadlights:
The tank itself is a 36x24x20 Leemar three sided rimless starfire tank. 1.5" square tube stand all the way around, made by my cousin for the price of $40 plus lunch (what a deal!!!). Skimmer is an SWC Mini S Cone, rated for 150 gallon heavy bioload. My tank is roughly 75 gallons with a 50 gallon sump filled up 3/4ths of the way. I will be adding some fish as I'm barley getting any skimmate right now with only five fish inside the tank. Thinking about adding a tang to control some of the algae.

Thanks. I'm going to rebuild my canopy soon. I don't think I'm going to upgrade my lights but we'll see. Lots of people argue for the rule of thumb of 1 MH per 2 feet but I think 2 will be over kill on a 36" tank. The energy would be out of control as well, especially during the summer when the chiller has to be on.
But yes, dosing is awesome. I noticed a ton of more growth once I got mine stable. Hope your tank is well. I'm going to need new frags from you soon once my tank stabilizes :bounce3:
