Looking really good.
How about your bulb combination and light schedule?
PO4 and NO3 levels?
Thanks!
Yes I guess that would help.

I like the blue look but it's time to change bulbs so my new lineup will add a purple but I'll be switch to all Giesemann bulbs. Using them in my frag tank with no ill effects and they are accessible locally for me.
Lighting schedule: all 6 B+ from 10-10, the 2 C+ come on from 12-6. Not exactly the traditional dawn to dusk settings but it works well for me. And my coral don't complain.
I seldom test at all except for my alk just to ensure the calcium reactor is going good. But the last time I ran full tests about 2 months ago my results were
PO4-.02 Hanna
NO3-0 Red Sea pro
Cal-420 Red Sea pro
Alk-8.5ish Hanna
Mag-1320 Red Sea pro
These are usually my shoot for numbers.
NO3 is not measureable but caulerpa grows strong in the fuge so I know it's there. I feed a homemade mix pretty much daily with a pinch of pellets every once in a while.
Any other questions feel free to ask. I'll try to get some more pics up soon. And I'll get some system pics as well.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
I switched over to all Giesemann and am happy, running 3 blues, 1 actinic, a coral and a purple. My corals don't look as good as your though.
Looking forward to more pictures.
My pleasure.
So far I'm happy with the giesemann's in my frag tank. I'll be going with 5 blue, 2coral, & 1 purple
It took some time a lots of feeding for this. I used to feed lightly and colors showed it.
