    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. ;D

    Trumpets a few months back:

    Now the polyps are looking more full and healthy:

    Frogspawn a few months back....

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

    Wow! That's quite an improvement from only a month ago! Your candy cane will be as large as mine in no time :)
