Nice, I just started dosing biggles juice as well. What's your system volume?
Biggles juice isn't a product. Biggles (Andrew) secretly ran a few products and had a real good result from them. Now he is helping his Aussies have these amazing tanks by telling secrets. Lol. From what I gathered. It was koralcolor, trace hard, and lugols. I admit I am happy with the colors I'm starting to see. He's a reef genius. Also quiverfull is running the bj on his tank and it's amazing.
My tank is a standard 125 with a 30 gal sump. Probably 130-135 total gallons.
Yea, I know that. I was looking more for instructions based on his method.

Lol my bad. I'm just following the instructions on the bottle.

Incredible growth!! So you have more than 900W in 120 gal ? And no problem with algae? Maybe this is the reason of your big results ?
Congrats!
I just had surgery on my hand so I'm pretty limited but i am working on canopy that will incorporate 4 more t5 (4 36 inch bulbs) so I'll have full six feet coverage front and back. Two will be actinic. I was looking at d&d or geismann and I'm not sure about the other two. Maybe a purple plus or something.
Here are a few pics of my slower growers.

I still have some algae. I got some clear bubble stuff going on and some soft nuisance algae. But nothing to bad. I have to change my carbon and phosguard this week sometime. I'm trying to decide if i wanna add some matrix, siporax, or marine pure block. My sand is super dirty too. I just started cleaning it. I take a turkey Baster and blow water all through the sand. The tank gets all nasty and dark and the corals love it. I don't use a sock but I started using one to help after I clean the sand.

Pics were taken on 4-16 and today. Very happy with growth. Started with two part and I'm about two weeks in on the biggles bandwagon. Very happy with colors I'm starting to get.
Your growth for 1 month is crazy!! Very impressive

Fantastic growth for one month. Mine usually take about a month or two to just get settled down and acclimated to the new tank before they start growing any. If you keep things stable and happy, in 2 years time they'll have grown exponentially and you'll have large colonies out of those.

Did you notice the colors faded when you first started using bj? My acros were a little on the brown side. Now the brown is gone, but the color has faded a little as well

Really nice growth!
How old is the tank? I'm just now getting some pieces to come out of a dormant stage, and others have been growing but nothing as impressive as yours. I chalk it up to nutrient instability, hopefully I can get it under control, it would be nice to have mini colonies by the end of the year.
