I love that red coral in the second from last shot. Great tank and colors look spot on. What are you dosing of anything

Oh baby. Nice palette!
No more iron dosing? What % wc and how often? What's for nutrient reduction? Sorry forget.. Also, what ca media?

Thanks matt  No was noticing a difference in macro algae growth no matter how much iron I dosed. Doing about 5% wc (3) times a week so about 15% weekly. But over the last 2 months I've pretty much done a 150% WC about 600gals. Didn't like the direction some of my colonies where going, growth had slowed, STN and was losing a few. After head scratching searching testing for any known causes no smoking gun was found. Did a Triton test nothing alarming came back from that except almost all my trace elements where very low or below LOD. Figured starting to do real water changes would help. Since doing so the system has done a 180 and growth has exploded again and any sulky ones are rebounding. For nutrient control still just have bunch of marine pure bricks, Skimmer and tons of macro algae in the refugiums. Cheato and calurpa the main ones. Also experimenting with some other ones. Pom Pom gracilara and blue hypnea. My Brute "super algae reactor" Just being used as a test bed for now  And lastly using TLF reborn for Ca media |

Thanks for the info.
I've never been able to get red algeas to grow in my system. Curious to see how you do. And that is very interesting about the large wc making a tank turnaround. I kind of feel like doing the same thing... see if it kickstarts a few stalled corals. What salt are you using?

Thanks It's a Nielsen style GEO that I modified by removing the unreliable maxjet pump for a larger external pump. |

Thanks matt, it's a reef raft piece I've had growing out in the frag tank for awhile. It's hard to get the color to look correctly in a pic has a very metallic color to it. I believe it's a Suharsonoi.
