Hi all
I just wanted to post a full tank shot to track my progress. Its really funny how little the tank looks in pictures LOL Also I started to feed Pappone again but only for a short while until i start using the modified formula I have. I found this from a youtub video that was posted in french and had some help translating it. I will be making this in two weeks as I need to get a few ingredients I don't have on hand or can buy locally. so once everything comes in I will post results and pics.
Also I wanted to let everyone know that all the maricultured pieces are doing really good and have started to color up really nice. I think most people think they need lots of light and I now know this is not the case as I have my fixture at 65% I have it set to be raised 1% a week until I get to where I want to be. But I will let the SPS colors tell me when to stop.
In addition the prodibio additives i have been adding is really starting to work as a carbon source. Almost all the algae is almost gone and the sps are really doing well. I dose biodigest,bioptim,iodi,stroonit+ and was also dosing reefbooster but ran out. I used this in place of the pappone but now with the new pappone recipe i have that incorporate it I think it will be better.

Fauna Marin Ultra LPS Grow & Color Medium/Regular Pellet
Half a bag of Reef pearls 40 grams or 1.41 size 5-200 MICRONS

250 g Artemia newly hatched brine shrimp

Mixing in a blender : Methods: Make SURE that all ingredients are the freshest possible and DO NOT use frozen foods (unless it is impossible for you). Make sure everything "live" is rinsed and cleaned before putting it into the blender. Put all the ingredients into the blender and blend for 5 min, wait 2 min for it to cool, 5 more min blending, 2 min of waiting again, then finally another 5 min of blending (the pausing is so that the solution doesn't get too hot and "cook" from the heat of the blender/blades). Pour into cube forms (approx 10 mL each).
Place in freezer or small cubes and feed up to two times a week 5 to 10 ml for every 200 liters or for every 52.83 gallons of water volume.
