Hi my water specs are just old school big skimmer lots of light I use a Octo Extreme 250, now I use 2 250w 10k Reeflux and in center of them a 400w 20k reeflux and some Uri super actnics and a Fiji purp,Ati blue + for salt Seachem reef salt hands down great salt for the money but you must mix the bucket very good roll it around and flip in over for a couple of minutes ,when my colors get lighter I dose some Zeovit Amino Acids till my colors darken up and I also feed my 7 fish heavy 4 to 5 times a day I do not dose any bacteria nor any carbon source,I have no unwanted algae but I feel that the skimmer being so over-sized lets me overfeed and also keep my tank and water clean .And for 2 weeks out of the month I run a little GFO in a small reactor if I use i for the whole month my corals get to light for me I like the darker color to my sps .Wait till I get my new camera those pics don't do my tank justice I have a 160$ Nikon point & shoot I'm using the focus on that camera is out of whack.
