I already feed a lot, plus that would also increase nitrates and overall detritus. Dosing pure po4 has been the best way to maintain it ime

Are you dosing per instructions on the bottle or something you have come up with on your own? I have always been afraid to add it but I have some. My Phosphate is exactly what yours reads now .03 and nitrates run between 18-23 usually. Would like to raise my phosphates without raising the nitrates

Yeah I use the equation on the bottle and go off of that. I’m personally adding around 10ml a day which is probably way too much for most another tanks so I wouldn’t advise it. Start slow and test often

I also have some Tropic Marin Plus NP but believe that raises Nitrates as well.

I tried that a while ago and didn't like it. It has nitrates and phos in it but also has a carbon eating source

A couple of pieces from my most recent Battlebox. Was glad to see some oranges and yellows in this one.

BC Gilded Lily


BC Super Rainbow


BC Cream City Pinky


BC Three Oranges. This one's been on my wishlist for a very long time!


Update of my green'd out TSA Bill Murray finally starting to get some color back!

 

[OldNemo]

You really should work on your camera skills. Just sayin'

The 3 oranges is on my list, I had one about a year ago that RTNd during a move. The orange on them is insane!

 

[H2OHOH]

Checking back in here to say we need updates! And that idk how I missed you have 18 FISH, no wonder your corals grow like beauty pageant weeds!

 

[RSnodgrass]

18! Where are they all hiding?

Well here is my current fish list:

2 Male Flame Wrasse
1 Male Pintail Wrasse
1 Female Rhomboid Wrasse
1 Male Blue Star Leopard Wrasse
2 Watanabei Angelfish (Pair)
1 Black Tang (King of the tank)
1 Tomini Tang
1 Borbonius Anthias

I think that's it, so currently only ten. Sorry to disappoint The Pyramid I sold locally. The first sunkist anthias died from double popeye from wedging itself between some rocks one day and it never healed, and shortly after that the other two weren't the same and followed suit. This was after having all three for a year+. Maybe something started bullying them, idk. I've sold two other flame wrasse, and had a clownfish go carpet surfing. So now we are where we are and I haven't adding anything in over a year in fear that I'd disrupt the current pecking order. Plus the angels and tang are getting big and account for a lot of bio-load.

As for an update, I guess I have a couple pics to share, but nothing too big happening in the tank recently.

I can't stop looking at this piece every time I walk past the tank. It's the unreleased BC Super Rainbow and it keeps coloring up more and more each month.


Here's a backup JF Homewrecker colony I have that was getting such insane coloration I ended up moving the main colony over to the same spot.


Oh, and this little frag has been growing well, most importantly <3 almost 4 months now



Other than that the only pics I've taken have been updated colony/macro shots that I'm sure people have already seen in my most recent fs thread but I'll post some of them here as well.

Congratulations! Looks like a healthy specimen. Amazing growth form and color!

Great build thread brother! And I thank you for giving others motivation to update their build threads. Sharing our experiences, good and bad(especially the bad), is one of the most valuable ways we can become better reef keepers.

I hope to get the opportunity to meet you some day and see your gorgeous setup!

 

[spsick]

Looking great and oh boy a 4 month old no wonder it’s been quiet in the update! Congrats!

So... Did your G. watanabei transition?!?
Or am I seeing something else?

 

[northern_reefs]

It did! Unfortunately it's also been dealing with what I believe is swim bladder for the last few months as well

Thanks Katie!

Figured I'd post one last FTS before I move in a month and upgrade to a larger tank. This tank has been very good to me, and taught me a lot about the hobby/coral husbandry. I can only hope to have the same success in the new tank. The transfer of everything is currently in the "planning" phase, and I'm optimistic it will go relatively smooth. Fingers crossed!
