Default LPS growth and more
Well, for the last month or two, I've been dosing Arm & Hammer w/ Borax to keep up my Alk, adding Epsom Salt to supplement Magnesium, and some pure form Calcium I picked up from Tangster's house. Thanks for the great coaching, Tangster.

I keep these parameters:

Ca at ~440 ppm
Mag at ~1400 ppm
Alk at ~12-14 dKH

I also started target feeding the trumpets every now and then, and my camera skills have somewhat improved.

Trumpets a few months back:



and Now:



Then:



Now the polyps are looking more full and healthy:



Frogspawn a few months back....



Frogspawn now:




And the finger leather (I know a softie, not an LPS) is taking off...

Before:



Now:
