    This is a major bummer!! I'm sorry to hear about that, hopefully you can nurse back the ones that survived.. you had such an amazing collection

    So it has been a while. Tank sucked for a really long time. I kinda got fed up with it, but I had to do something. Now most of the coral that survived my father's wrath is coming back to life, and starting to do something color wise. Anyways, I am feeling lazy, but here is what I got for tonight; Growth shots for fun.

    Hey Andrew, I always wanted to ask you this, you still running BioPellets and GFO? How much pellets??

    Yeah I do run both. I am running 8 Tbsp of regular GFO from BRS on an 8 week cycle, and about 300g of Ecobak in a reactor. BUT and here is the huge catch with pellets... I not only spot feed my coral I have some Phyto on a drip system that doses 5 minutes each night. I essentially try and remove all the bad crap, and replace it with as pure of a mix as possible.
