So here is a tank up date. I was doing my tank profile and I thought to myself... "self .. how about a tank update", and me and myself agreed we would do one.

I'm dosing the following daily
1) Kalk via reactor in line with ATO (Osmolator)
2) Elos Amino acids
- I've been dosing these for quite a few months now and have slowly worked up to half of the recommended dosage. I'm dropping in 10 drops every day. I've noticed a marked change in my coral color. Colors are much deeper. I've especially noticed this on orange corals.
3) Elos ProSkimmer (plankton suppliment.. dead not alive)
4) ALK part of 2 part. For some reason I EAT alk like crazy. I dose daily and test weekly.



I feed fish 2x a day. Small flake for the chromis and anthias. and pellet for the rest. The tang gets sea weed every once and a while.

I do 1 water change every 2 weeks of 15g. So.. thats 30g a month on a 120g + small sump.

Change out GFO once every other month or so.

Skim as much as possible and run T5 lighting. YES, corals can grow very nicely under T5s if you were wondering:)

Thats about it :)

Here is a front shot.

Thanks guys.

Acros aren't the fastest "fill in corals" :yes:

I placed them and gave them room to grow, but digitas, caps, and a few other sps corals TOTALY grow much faster than the acros to fill in gaps. I even use digitas and montis to fuse rock together in my aquascaping.

Put the fast growing stuff in the gaps, with intent to frag, and place the slower growers in areas that won't get shaded out in a year or so.
