    been awhile since ive been on, your tank is looking awesome! I lost most of my colored sticks due to an unknown reason, so now its a chalice dominated tank.

    Thank doog

    Im using bulk powder for Calcium and Alkalinity
    reef advantage calcium and reef builder - both from seachem
    Im dosing 8 times in 24 hours, Via a Bubble Magus doser
    just increased my timers by about 10% recently
    and at present Im dosing an average of 1 teaspoon of reef builder in 24 hours which produces 0.3 DKH and 1 teaspoon of calcium in 24 hours which gives me about 6 ppm

    I'm still envious over that Lobo Steve. I'd pay good money for something like that if I ever found one stateside.

    thank you evolved , yes that Lobo has gone from strenght to strenght and earns its place front and centre in my tank IMO

    Also wanted to post this image of another SPS that seems to be adopting coloration - adopting Zoos from surrounding corals and again is developing a blue purple hue over the top of the base green/yellow color it arrived in

    When I grow up, I want my tank to look just like urs;D

    They're available in Trinidad and I was actually thinking about getting one for my display tank. What's ur take on them?
