Jackson's Custom 115G Cube Build

Nitrate is currently between 2-5ppm, po4 is .07
I dose prodibio biodigest/bioptim every 2 weeks, and dose mb7 + special blend every alternating week.

Really nice tank! I need to get my nutrients up a bit

I decided to clean the tank up. Some of the faster growers, mainly montis + stylos, took over since the mini crash that I had in the spring. Flow was greatly reduced, and so was available real estate. Here's what it looks like now. Going to leave it alone now and let it grow out again.

Looking very nice, Rich. I also cleaned up some large colonies to make room for new ones and for fish to swim

LOl yea I learned that the fish + feeding were the key to colors. I always had pale looking corals back in the day. I was afraid to have detectable nitrates + phosphates lol

Tank looks as good as always rich. I see you went back to halides. Old school is always the best

Thanks Joe. I put the halide back on last month. I think it looks better than the t5, but I still have the t5 fixture. With 10 T5's there were no shadows and growth was very fast. I'll probably put the T5 fixture back on before summer, and switch back to halide when it gets cold out again
