Beautiful fish and corals!! Your sps look great!!
I have to ask what do you feel is the best thing for great color from sps?

Thanks alex.. Nothin special .. I feed a lot and since I hsve use Brightwell products minus the neo-zeo since august I have since good coloration on my sps and somewhat growth as well... Stable parameters too.. Why you askin me u the guru on corals

No i am not, I have had some good success from zoa's in the past which i feel is alot less picky than sps. (Sometimes not)
I am having a hard time with po4 no3 balance. I cannot keep nitrate in the tank which some feel is a good thing, But if your nitrate limited you have to figh po4 with lots of GFO. I use a 1/4 lb at a time in my reactor, I have to keep it under .02 for good sps colors, and then if i go lower it will lighten the sps too much.
I have a feeling it was from detritus buildup in the sandbed and rock. Well pretty sure. Going a diff route this time around with plenty of filtersocks and tons of flow!!!
Sorry to hijack, but i had to ask. Theres a few peoples tank i really like, and yours is one.
Thanks for the info!

Before I start using BW products my Po4 range from .08-10 . Now I am in the range of .02 -.04 as I have notice running below that cause my SPS to light in color. Yes Filtersock does help a bit as well ..

I stoped the BW products for now, and the frags are doing great. In about 2 weeks i will be upgrading my tank to a new 70 gal tank. So i might start doing some when i move to the new tank.

 

[Rickyrooz1]

What is the new lens you used?
