Ok. Let me try to clear it up a little better.
How do you add ALK+CAL+MAG back to tour tank as it becomes depleted ? What method or methods do you use, products, and brands name of products ?

Just a water change every 2 weeks with coralife salt and I run GFO and carbon in reactors.
I only have 3 fish so my nutrients don't get very high at all...

So you don't dose CAL+ALK. Uhh, man am I puzzled on how you got 2"growth in a months time on a SPS coral. So what are you parameters like ?

More like 2 months.

 

[pauliwalnuts]

So where do you keep your parameters at ? And do you use kalkwasser ?

 

[Reeftanker3295]

Sorry haven't updated.
Got a yellow haddoni anemone and the clowns are loving it... Maybe a bit too much. We'll see.
I added some new rock and the amount of space for frags now is amazing.
I also ordered epoxy for the frags to mount them where I want them and the phoenix bulbs. They should be here on friday.

I do not run kalkwasser, but I plan on setting up an ATO in the upcoming weeks so I may start kalkwasser.

 

[pauliwalnuts]

Nice update. Any pics ?

 

[Reeftanker3295]

I will take pictures on Friday when the bulbs arrive. Still waiting for the anemone to settle in, the clowns are bugging it.

That's what they do best, lol.

Haha yup it won't plant its foot. It's mouth is tight and I fed it twice already in the past week and its very healthy... Should attach soon hopefully.

Just a bit of an update
Anemone planted its foot and spread very nicely today. Bulbs arrive tomorrow, should be doing some work on the tank.

Cooool...

I added a crocea clam and a tiny fairy wrasse a few days ago. The wrasse comes out to eat but is still very shy and stays in his rock most of the day. I hope he comes out soon he is a beautiful fish!
I had to move some stuff around, but everything is looking great now. Glad I bought that epoxy stick :splitspin

I thought that fox-face rabbit fish are NOT Reef safe ?

I think they are risky like dwarf angels.
Heres some pictures!

Acans have much better color under the new bulbs. They turned brown before

Added a female bellus angel. LOVE the colors!
I've never had a fish acclimate better. Acting like she's been in there for months with no aggression. She also swims up to my shrimp and lets it clean her, which none of my other fish do. I also added a small green zoa frag.
I took a video of the tank being fed that I may add later.

Had a bit of a scare last night. Carpet anemone, from the harassment of the clowns, detached itself and went right into the powerhead. Luckily my dad was home and shut it off. I slowly pulled it out and luckily it really didn't get damaged at all, just got stuck to the powerhead. The clowns are really harassing the new anemone. I may set up another tank for it if it continues.
Other than that, everything is doing good. Did a water change today. The Bellus angel is doing awesome, she only ate the tiny pieces of food the first few days which was weird and concerned me but today she ate like a pig! :splitspin

I don't think my leng sy cap and my green digitata like my new lighting... They started bleaching out a bit. I lowered them both, seeing how they do now. Weird that it was only my green SPS?
Getting a nice pack of SPS on tuesday, stay tuned :splitspin

Bellus still doing awesome! Very happy about that. Thinking about going back to the LFS and getting a tube anemone, he had a very nice one last time that I want to try.
