Its the 15-16 DHK and Calcium at 500 -550 and Mag at 1600 -1700 and the strontium ??? I never test that as there is no decient aquarte test for it so I dump 16 oz a week on average of a stock solution. (:

Well, it's been a while and my lack/loss of photographic skills shows it! Although we've been battling bryopsis for the past few months, Tangster and I still think that the tank looks ok. Hopefully, this won't be the last round of pics before we break the tank down because of this nuisance algae. Our coral growth has been outstanding, the coralline has really taken off and the fish are fat and healthy. Unfortunately, as a result of transferring rock and corals from my "old" 90 gallon (and also from trading corals indiscriminatly) the bryopisis has made it into this tank. It has taken hold and refuses to let go Word to the wise......don't use live rock unless you're 100% sure of the source.

Ah Scott, your glass is always half full isn't it

Aquaboy: I'm really hoping that we don't have to break the tank down either but sometimes, it's easier to do that than to watch all of your corals start to RTN as a result of coming into contact with this beeyotch of an algae.
