Busy busy with so much stuff! Sorry if I've been lacking on updates on the tank... Photos will follow soon :) So far everything seems to have stabled down... Parameters are great, fishes are fat fat and most importantly my sps n zoas have since started growing and branching out... However, if anyone has an good advice on how I can get polyp extension in the lighting hours rather then when lights are off would be great! I do have some polyp extension during lighting hours but when lights go off, WOW! The polyp extensions are ridiculous! Wondering if I can change the timing they open their polyps... Any advice appreciated!

Nice corals and photography skills :thumbsup: . Mind sharing how u took those photos. Im still learning how to take using dslr.
Thanks bro... In all honesty i think the photographs are really so so only... Under this lighting im no where close to actual colour representation... Trying to figure out myself too! But shooting is raw and making adjustments helps alot!

First time testing for potassium (K) and got the biggest shock of my life! 300! Now need to adjust upwards again! Learnt something new too! In order to balance up Ca and Kh (in case of high Ca and low Kh) one has to bring up Kh to match Ca before being able to bring both down together! Very interesting...
