Sunny, how do you keep your alk low? Mine always goes up to 10, and I'm using two part. I always been struggling to keep it down to 7. (I'm dosing via litermeter - both at the same pace)
tank always finds itself to 9-10 dkh.

I started using MB7 on my new 180g about a week ago. The directions say for aquarium start-up, use 1 capful per 25g daily. So for 180g, I've been adding 7 capfuls every day. Is that too much?

Thanks Sunny.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=15372945#post15372945 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by SunnyX
That sounds about right, but only use that dose for two weeks. After two weeks switch over to the low dosage on the bottle and + or - the dosage from there based on your observations and tests.

Thanks Sunny.
One other thing. The new tank has been running for two and a half weeks. Last week I started dosing Zeo Amino Acid, Sponge Power, and Coral Vitalizer. Is it too soon for that? I was going to wait till the tank was runnig for a month to start vodka.
What do you think?

Well, after fragging up some corals yesterday for sale and comparing them to the SAME corals in the frag tank I am thoroughly convinced that the T5 have had the greatest impact on my coloration.
The difference in color was jaw dropping.I placed the same corals side my side and was shocked at how much brighter and more colorful the corals under T5 were.
I was fragging up the corals quickly so I didn't get any shots but I will the next time I frag some up to show the difference. I dont know how big a difference the camera will show but in person they look like they came from different systems.
I had people over yesterday and they were in love with the colors in the frag tank, but when they seen the same corals in the display tank they were shocked.
One guy told me I have more colors then a box of Crayola Crayons! :lol:
Needless to say we will have a few more guys joining us with the current dosing methods that we are doing here.![]()

I agree with this statement. I went from t5's to MH with 4 T5's and the colors were not as nice as with the T5's only. You could see the difference immediately from taking it out of the t5 tank and putting it into the MH tank. What I don't know is if the T5's are "tricking" your eyes because of the bulb combo and spectrum you can pick. I know if i were to change the t5's bulb combo in the t5 only tank the corals would look more dull immediately too. Right now I'm still in the wait and see mode. Will the corals color up better eventually? We'll have to wait and see.
Amen to this brother. I know I would support this by buying a few of your frags from him. Todd is a great person to deal with.Perhaps he can setup a small section on his site for corals from my system.
