top left is a flower pot colony polyp, not an anenome!
the gonia's have new growth and are 6 months old
the test kit is by salifert, also had it professioanlly tested at exotic underworlds, one of the top saltwater dealers in Savannah , ga.
the picture above don't do justice to the growth of the corals, i am a crappy photographer. the carpet is doing fine under the lighting now,
4- 95 watt power compacts, the bulb is happy as well as the maroon clown buried in it . the soft corals are growing great, the 3 lps I have are doing well sitting high in the tank. the two 450gph power heads are almost covered in purple, I conted 45 1/2 inch purple dots on the back glass. The manipora is growing like crazy. So something must be right. I added 20 more hermits and almost all of the algea is gone within 24 hrs, now the 39 hermits will be looking for me to feed them .
I use phospate sponge in the wet dry and change that every 6 weeks. I will post another picture tomorrow after the tanks clears from todays 25% water change / vacuming. Also I use a pre-filter before the water hits the wet / dry sump, which also hold phosphate sponge.
I appreciate help, but don't like smart ass answers, I am to much of a red neck marine
