    Mine grow like gangbusters. All of them. I hear Kalk actually encourages monti growth over traditional dosing.

    That's exactly what it is, thanks Seano!

    I'm dosing about 145ml a day of BRS calc and alk and I'm dosing about 30ml a day of a fully kalk saturated vinegar solution (non water diluted)

    Well they weren't all today, but all in the last couple weeks. (the corals I have all had, just felt like getting some pics.)

    I'm so excited about the Powder blue and the butterflys. I have had those on order from my LFS for like 3 months.

    Butterflies are MIA today :( Powder blue on the other hand is still ich free, swimming around without being harassed searching for algae, looks super healthy! Both pipefish are looking great as well.

    I have taken one a month ago or so.. I have done a little rearranging since this video though. Got the plastic container out of the front corner and added some more frags (you can't see them in FTS anyhow though)

    I also found this picture and thought it was cool. I'm in class this week and bored so I was looking through my pictures and saw it. I don't think i ever posted it.

    Thank you!! It's really amazing what a simple, consistent process will do for you! No miracle cures or snake oil bottles! Just a great filtration system, vinegar/kalk and BRS 2part!!

    Thank you Corailline!!

    Coming from my 30 gallon which was constant roller coaster. It would look amazing, then start to dive.. I would get it right then it would turn for the worse when I left town.. This tank has been a drastic change. (granted this tank brought with it many many hours of research)

    I just still can't believe it is my tank in my living room. I am away for the week and I have asked my GF about the tank everyday... she pointed out that I hadn't asked about the dog once 8)
