Thank you very much everyone..

as you can see i made the middle section of the sump which was supposed to be the refugium, into the frag inspection(grow out) section. Found it to be easier and less stressfull for the frags instead of being in a frag rack being bothered by my fish lol, and being that theyre in the same water, they get to acclimate better when its time to trasfer to the DT

I dose manually
Cal Alk and Mag
currently dosing 50 ml of cal and alk , mag i dose when needed

Also vodka dose

The tank parameters are
0 ammonia
0 nitrates
0.05 phosphates
450ppm cal
10dkh alk
1400ppm mag


I try to do my water change every 2 weeks, about 25%
if time doesnt let me ill do it on the third week

Thanks. Im trying to have a wide viraity of anthias in the reef. They make any tank look alive... Been looking for the Rabaulichthys anthias...but none of the stores around seem to Order those.

Awesome corals & tank! Your corals are tightly packed, are they stinging each other?

I only had a few SPS's, but many of them would grow & touch each other. They would sting & cause the other to RTN.

How do you maintain them or keep them from stinging, do you just prune & trim them before they touch each other?

They do sting each other.:headache::headache:
All I can do is frag the tips. But eventually one will just touch and kill a small piece of the other.. With time they will grow apart from each other, very close but apart

Some corals won't sting corals of their same kind , well 90 % of the time lol
So it's a try and see type of thing... With time you'll get more knowledgeable.
