 |  Everything Growing
I have had my tank for 11 months. It is a 90 gal. with half a 55 gal. tank as my refugium. In the past month we have notice everything has grown larger, wonderful looking. I have a leather mushroom that must be twice its size, a aneame twice its size in the 2 mos. since we bought it. And I have had a bubble for about 6 mos. (did not look well than) up till the past 2 weeks. It has grown 3 times its size.
Every morning I check everyone out - I feed them Phyto Feast, Purple Up, and Kent Buffer. I refill the water as needed.
I have no idea what I'm doing right. Anyone have any ideas? |

If you could bottle some of that "doing right" I'd buy a bit off you.

Your tank could be just maturing?  Marty, I've got one bottle of "doing it right" left. I was getting 1,000 bucks each, but, will give you one free. | |

Marty,
If I thought I could make money off it I would. It just baffles me as to what is different or what I'm doing. I just can't believe all of a sudden everything looks great. Oh, I forgot, I also ad a 1/8tsp. of GP Reef & Larval Fish Diet. But all this has been added for the past months. My temp has been at 79 to 80 degrees. I have not done a water change in at least 5-6 weeks. All test well - just wish I knew what was going on. it is good, but I still wonder. | |

Missionsix66,
How do I know when my tank would be maturing? The bubble coral looked half dead when I got it 6/7 mos. ago. Now it is 3 to 4 times its size, with all kinds of bubbles. | |

Don't stop.

Ahh the mysteries of a reef tank. I too hardly do anything to my tank; no skimmer, water changes 1X a month and I only dose bi-onic and Kent complete 1X per month. I have silver xenia's that won't stop growing & a green bubble that is 7X7 when fully extended.
I'm certainly not complaining! Congrats and good luck. _________ Kimmy | |
