55 gallon SPS reef- new additions (12/18/14)

every time i try that, my gha issues explode. maybe n my new tank with sump, cheato and all i'll be able to do it.

what do u feed ur corals?

 

Yeah, I have chaeto, skimmer and phosphate reactor working right now. When I feed, I feed 5+ times a day in small amounts I've found less waster that way.

I broadcast feed amino acids (5ml) and oyster eggs (2 ml). I alternate them.

 

I can't begin to explain the transformation. Pictures don't do justice. Everything is coloring up unbelievably. I notice new growth daily.

The last two pieces that weren't coloring up a few days ago are starting to now.

The ponape is going from translucent to pink with a green hue and the red planet is gaining green in its base.

 

Coraline is coming back now.

 

Montis are growing well, birds best went from 1 to 22 (yes 22) branches in 3 weeks. New zoas every few days. Frogspawn is splitting etc.

Most importantly, spa are coloring up and encrusting.

 

Finally got a new impeller and the skimmer online. I also got some true GFO back online.

 

Messing around with my new camera. I have a lot to learn:

 

I can see the difference, excellent.

It's a slow slow process.

You can see better PE and coloration as well as some growth on the Montipora you were so worried about.

 

Yeah, it's been a slow process. That reverse monti and birdsnest has shown the most growth. Everything is coloring and encrusting slowly; nothing note worthy, but progress. Several are close to covering their frag disk.

That monti has shown the greatest color shift.

 

Looks really, really nice Kevin! Congrats!
