I am. In fact I only use Radions for all of my system. But I think the diffuser on the other is a waste of money. If something not broken, we don't need to fix it right?!

ok; what program do you use with radion? Can you take a picture of these corals with only white LEDs?

I picked it up from a friend. Unfortunately I lost it during the tank crash.

I think you meant parameter?
I keep Alk in range of 8dkh to 9dkh. I dose Cal at the same rate as Alk to keep it around 450~500ppm.
I feed frozen mysis and brine shrimp very day.

Pretty sure you’ve answered this before but to continue with the parameters question: where do you keep n and p and do you monitor potassium?
Do you dose anything?

I don't keep track of my No3 and Po4 numbers. I do dose Potassium via Redsea color ABCD. (At rate of 1ml each component per week now).
Beside that I am dosing Flatworm stop now.

That’s right.. I forgot you don’t follow n and p. Do you ever test?? I’m so curious.
1ml per week, seems quite low.. how many gallons on this system?
Are you dosing flatworm stop as a preventative for aefw or for its purported health benefits for the acros?

I haven't test no4 in a couple years now, and po4, I tested last time when I had the crash a couple months ago. It was 0.3ppm or 0.35ppm on Hanna Phosphorus if I remember correctly. I tested, but then I felt that number was so...useless because I never keep track of it so I don't have anything to compare to that number 0.3ppm.
I used to dose 1ml each component each day on my 45 gallons system when that system consume 100ml of Alk a day. But this system is quite new plus mostly frags, consumption is only ag 40ml a day so I don't bother dosing much trace elements.
About the flatworm stop, a friend of mine recommended it to me when my tank crashed, he claimed it help with the corals health. So I got 1l bottle and it still last until now. I can't tell if it works or not now. But when this bottle empty I will stop and see if everything turn down hill, then I can tell.

Thank you. I try to post the highest quality pictures possible. It's very nice viewing on tapatalk app, but when I try to view the forum on safari the pictures show as full size and almost can't see anything. Does it happens to you?

Yes, I think so. I don’t use a computer and view everything on my iPhone 8plus.
I can’t view the whole image in my phone. Even when I pinch to make the image as small as possible it is still too large for my screen.
I probably get about 1/3 of the width of the image.
A little annoying but my annoyance is always offset by my amazement at the detail!

It only happens on reefcentral, not the other forum. On the other forum pictures only enlarge when we click on them.
You should try tapatalk.
Here's what it appears on tapatalk

Incredible photos and really nice corals. I want frags of several of you corals when I get my tank back on track. Having weird ALK issues at the moments do have lost a few SPS while other look great still.
The photos are huge on my iPad and the txt microscopic. i can shrink to see full image or expand to read txt.
