My quest for color.

Very nice. Are you still dosing vinegar? What else are you running for filtration?

Thanks Sahin. I am no longer dosing vinegar. I am dosing some mb7 though. I have added several liters of matrix running passively in bags in the sump.

I also never thanked you for the lfs suggestions in England.

I don't have any recent top downs. . I'll get some over the next couple of days. . Thanks for stopping by. I still think I'm just missing something for better color. I really would like to get a salifert potassium kit but I can't find them here in the United States.
 
Looking forward to the top downs..
The new potassium kit has recently trickled into Canada.. They must be on their way to the us..

Here they are.


I have been lowering my alk and it seems the coral really appreciate it. Polyps seem to be out even more. I am wondering if it will have any effect on coral growth either positive or negative. I did move a lot of frags around before taking the pictures, so please don't judge the pe based off these shots.


































 
You're getting pretty good color in general. The red dragon looks a bit pale but corals look pretty good.
Lots of encrusting and not a lot of growth... That's what my corals did for about a year..

Red dragon is my fault. I managed to bleach it out completely before Pife got it. Seems to be recovering nicely though!

Thanks. It still isn't red but getting close. That Lokani is really starting to glow. 24k was the name? Scratch that. Banana Lokani. I went and found your thread.

So overall i think I final have a some things figured out...
 
So what did you do to get all of this accomplished? Looks like night and day to me. It's time for me to kick up the care taking if the tank. I have been slacking to say the least.
