Well I finally have my alk in the 7.5 dKh. Atleast I thought I did or I just don't know. For two to three days my alk reading was 7.3-7.4. Then I look at my all plants regulator and noticed the gage on zero. So I added a 20 lb CO2 tank and will monitor for the next few days.

I don't hate, I congratulate. I will definitely work on my video taking skills. I got the never dull and polished them. I took a par reading the other day but I don't think I had the right setting. AWL my reading was only 500–550 and in the sand it was only at 90-150 and I would like for it to be at least 200-250. I will test again tonight and if the readings are the same then I'll have to drop my lights.

I've added 3 goniporas to the tank and my purple torch. The torch seems to be the only one open. The pink goni has started to open but I keep moving it to where it can get flow. Plus all the corals are coming from LEDs to the MHs so there might be a little stress going on.

I'll be curious how your coloration and growth changes from the holding (LED) tank to the MH's.

Right now they're ok but prolly stressed. Others are adjusting fine so far. Just my red and pink goniporas haven't opened up yet.
