The thing I really admire about this tank is how each coral is showcased.
That red planet really cracks me up how it is spreading over the edge. I feel like its doing that on purpose just to annoy you.

Thank you for the compliment... i have lost a few things here and there and let a few things go, and perhaps some even prematurally, but I'm glad i have what i have now... I dont really have the room for too many more sps at this pointm though i can certainly collect a few more zoas which i will do for certain before any upgrade takes place... so overall im pretty pleased with the first 15 months of my system and my experience... I jus recently learned how lack of potassium and a few other certain elements, can affect corals, and i now have a few that are bouncing back, particularly a couple monti's, but they are well on there way, so thats good... but you learn alot as you go I have found out... and it kinda stinks learning things the hard way, but sometimes thats the only way you really become aware of some things, and it teaches you how to deal with it ahead of time, the next time... I'm pretty happy with my results so far, but i have a long way to go, that is for sure
in Ng's statement, he comments on the acro your speaking of... its a red planet, however its lost its greenish base, which it does in high light, and as i have (8) 54 watt ATI's over a 75g, i am a bit on the high side lol... my bulbs are now no more than 6 and a half months old, 6 are, other two were replaced in may... I plan on replacing them all again within 2 months time... i like my bulbs fresh
the red planet was also actually bleached out pretty badly when i actually replaced jus two bulbs in may as i jus mentioned... so its doing quite well now, and i think that is the color i am i gonna get out of it from here out...it so is, lmao... the thing has grown maybe a 1/4 of an inch, perhaps a little more, and the right branch has grown the most, at least over 1/2 an inch... its incredible how much its basing out, even though i knew they did that first... its working on covering its second tile! lol...
and thank you for the compliment as well

I only dose brs two part daily, and water change 5g's every other day as mentioned in the other thread... ill toss a few ounces of brs magnesium once a week... but that is it... potassium and other trace elements are taken care of by the 5 gallon water changes every other day in which i use instant ocean... i have about 135 total gallons of water in my system...
