I see. After I couldn't find anything on google, I figured that is what it was. Had to make sure though.
I would imagine that your colors not brightening up would have more to do with an excess nutrient problem rather than a lack of nutrients in the tank problem.
I test weekly for NO3 and PO4 (and several other perams) with salifert. I have 0 NO3, 0 PO4. I have about 140lbs LR between the sump and display, and grow chaetamorpha in the sump. My only fish are a 2" maroon, dragon goby, and 1.5" firefish goby.
My corals are pretty colorful right now, but I've been browsing through some pictures and was wondering if there was any way to brighten them up. They are very pretty as they are now, but I was just looking for ways to improve. Thats all.
If you're only skimming with a remora pro, you're probably not running your system as devoid as those people who complain that their corals arn't colored up because their tank is too clean.
Are you suggesting that the remora pro is too small a skimmer for this system? I was under the impression that it was one of the better skimmers on the market, and would be more or less perfect for this tank. What would you suggest?
Are your corals not coloring up brightly, or are they brownish?
Not at all. I bought a couple of pieces a while back at a discount because they were "browned out" and both of them are now colored nicely. As I said earlier in this post, the corals are pretty bright and colorful, I just thought there was some room for improvement.
