Wisdom.Corals Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Been using Kent Nano 2 part for the last year, started with it in my 5g. My bottles are going to run out soon and although the kent has been doing the job totally fine, I've been thinking about trying something else since almost everything else is more highly rated! I use Red Sea Coral Pro salt. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Welcome to the community @Wisdom.Corals! Great collection of SPS you have growing on the ridgeline of your aquascape. Is that a big mound of porities with christmas tree worms I see the lower right sand bed? I'd love to see that up close 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd love to see that up close Thank you! It is! Ill take a picture of it tomorrow! Had it for 5 or so months now. Started in my Fluval Evo V, you can see it a bit better here. Its been doing great so far! Definitely likes a strong, almost direct flow. The worms have grown and there seem to be some new tiny ones as well i think. 35 minutes ago, Ranjib said: b-ionic? thats what ive been thinking! was also looking at the red sea version, but i dont think it includes the minor/trace elements as much.. as i understand it. that way you can do them all individually.. but i dont wanna get that deep haha 1 Quote Link to comment

Check your Alk/ Ca/Mg weekly, before the WC and dosing, then slowly dial the dosing amount 1 Quote Link to comment

Check your Alk/ Ca/Mg weekly, before the WC and dosing, then slowly dial the dosing amount Thats pretty much what ive been doing. And im super on top of water changes. Often do small ones throughout the week to get rid of any detritus as well. Just ordered some b-ionic! Looking forward to trying it out! 1 Quote Link to comment
Wisdom.Corals Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Cut this acro a week or so ago. The top cluster is glued to the rocks nearby, but the top of this branch has already started healing over and growing new polyps! There were a few tiny branches that got broken off in the process, and I glued those to the small frag you see above. They have already incrusted into eachother and grown significantly!
