If no luck you can always try your luck using photoshop.

Yeah I know hyacinthus is one of the more difficult specimens

Had told Keith about this too as a cautionary note

So with regards to your list, here's my checks

1) Multi-directional pulsing flow especially to the core of the table

I have, especially when the currents are curving down at it

2) Strong lights

2x250w, the hyacinthus is around less than a foot from the surface

3) Stable parameters in the correct ranges (Alk 7-8, CA ~ 420, Mg ~1250, Low temp)

Alk 8, Ca 480, Mg 1350, Temp 26-28

4) Pristine waters with very low PO4 levels (0.01-0.03) and NO3=0

PO4 undetectable, NO3 undetectable

5) Regular AA supplements

5 drops per day of Salifert AA

6) Regular water changes to replenish depleted trace elements and dilution of toxicity

Weekly water changes with Coralife salt using DI water

I hope you suceed. But i doubt so. You may keep them alive. But keeping those pastle colours will be difficult. I wish you all the best.

sure turn out very nice one

I agree with Stanley, keeping it with pastel colour is very difficult. So far havent seen a reefer tank that can hold its pastel colour. Does anyone succeed in keeping the colours ?

[weileong]

I heard only, not seen in person. Some reefers managed to keep it under 400W 20kk radium.

[ciaolong]

this coral seem very hard work

i wonder if can get in aus

[weileong]

sure turn out very nice one

Yes very very nice.

Then when the truth came out I see the photoshop photo was replaced with another one (in another forum), wow this simply shows how guilty the other party is.

Enough said of that liao.

[Dispar_Anthias]

sure turn out very nice one

Ya somemore i know you quite good at photoshop

[weileong]

Ya somemore i know you quite good at photoshop

you meant yourself har?

[blueheaven]

Talking about me?

I only know how to auto balance, unsharp mask and brightness/contrast

Not that good in editing colours or else I make it purple and make you guys envious

Anyway, have been dosing the Salifert AA for 4 days already but I have not seen much effect. I have also caught the habit of stirring up my refugium a little at night when the lights are off to feed the corals

And still waiting for the Phoenix to arrive. At the mean time, going to head down to Iwarna this week to get some carbon.

Finally, I have put my ozone on a timer which runs it for 15min every hour for 8 hours. That makes a total of 2hrs of ozone dosage every day

Baby acans sprouting at the side

I'm still trying to fuel the Coralline growth in my tank but sometimes the 5 cent coin size coralline become white color...

[blueheaven]

I'm guessing why coralline grows on the sand is that I have my blue T5s directly above it

I think boosting magnesium and strontium might work but do not overdose
