    what would you attribute your growth to? I'm sure it's not just one thing but curious.

    Im running a calcium reactor, i use kalkwasser for my ato and do a 55 gallon water change every month. I think with those all combined and keeping good water quality has allowed the corals to grow rapidly

    I'm going to have to start dosing Kalk...it seems everyone attributes rapid growth to Kalk in ATO. Well done sir...well done.

    yes, there does seem to a theme there on the kalk. Do you target feed the corals at all? If so, what and how often?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You know when your diving in crevasse? That is what your tank reminds me of with the walls and over hangs.

    The large fungia is it stripped like that or loosing tissue?

    Tell me about those small school fish again, what are they? Have you had to replace any or have they done well?

    TIA
