Sps are fine growing and spreading nicely. I'm such an idiot I've had this test kit for so long and never bothered to learn about dkh, It didn't say anything about multiplying by 2.8 so I always figured I was doing something wrong and just ignored it. I've now ordered brs 2 part and will start dosing for that alk. As far as heat I don't have much issues I have a $15 fan that's on 24/7 on my DT and keeps temp 79-82 on average. Even on 97F days.

Your tank is coming along very nicely!!

Where did you get the paver stone holding your acrylic rod? Did you drill the paver stone? How is your acrylic rod secured to the paver stone?

Thanx. Paver stone from Home Depot. $2.

Yes I drilled it w 1/2 drill bit and simply insert rod inside I didn't use glue or cement, some people do.

The smaller structure is without paver stone it just rod inserted to a large drilled live rock on bottom.
