cool..........your water must be very low in nutrients to achieve such result within 2months............how often do you feed your fishes?

Eric

[reefer guy]

thanks guys..... actually i dont know how high is my nutrient level, although i do water changes every two weeks religiously, clean my protein skimmer every 3 days, and surprisingly my corals are colouring up good...

with regards to feeding, i have 10 anthias, feeding average 3 cubes of brine shrimp daily, sometimes flakes as well.... guess im lucky to have such good colouration even w excessive feeding....

[lightningstrike]

can pass me some magic water from ur tank to bless my tank when i restart next month? and pls dun tell me u gonna charge me 300 for it.

[reefer guy]

hahaha.... u r second after sharkbait to ask me pass water.... no magic water though but i dont know how come all are colouring up and of course no regrets.... u can drop by see for urself

[Ancelot]

Glad to know that there is a hardworking reefer like you! WELL DONE! Keep up the good work! IMO, your inhabitants are the luckiest fellows around! lolx...

Good luck! and all the best!

What does your magic water made up from (salt brand)?

Eric

[Tigger]

u using MH? care to share how many watt to enhance the colouration?

[reefer guy]

nothing really fancy or extraordinary...... 2 x 250w mh 10,000k and 1 x 400w mh 10,000k of lighting..... water is just straight from ro/di using coral life salt ( which all of us are aware of that carries po4 and nitrate)

What is the shortest time anyone tried turning a brownie into their original color? 1month or 2month?

How about those mature sps gurus? Does your changes within 4 weeks??

[alanseah]

with regards to feeding, i have 10 anthias, feeding average 3 cubes of brine shrimp daily, sometimes flakes as well.... guess im lucky to have such good colouration even w excessive feeding....

and u still got that excessive feeding.. it way too little feeding more like it..

[Chefri]

how many percent you change the water every two weeks ?

[RAV-65]

Bro, my guess is that the 900W of MH did alot of good for your SPS... would u agree? If yes, I'm gonna blast my SPS!!

i dont really keep close track and if u often stare at ur tank u could actually see less changes not unless u compare it thru past n present pics..... my bet is about a month....

[reefer guy]

how many percent you change the water every two weeks ?

not sure how much water in terms of gallons but roughly about 20% of water, 6 pails.....

seems like it bro, but i wont disregard water quality and "hands-off" rule plus water circulation....

[minsmarine]

Whoo such a good success,

Keep it up bro.

Feeding too much and still achieve , I feed only half cube a day and take a few month to color
