Red Planet. The colony nearly died on me. Luckily managed to salvage a frag and so finished the end, and the start of a beginning... Posted Image

Thanks to tht79, Alvin , who so generously shared this yellow phoenix with me. The yellow bird and pink bird nest so beautifully.

And lastly, the robust echinata thrusts its grandness above all others.

Kirby, nothing specific. There is no sure system, it depends on what you are keeping, the tank size,etc...

Ok, some info on my tank first.

Mixed reef: zoas, sps

I feed heavily, including oyster feast for sps. Amino + multi vit , 10 drops 4-5 times a week.

I dose Bact everyday : 10ml. Run rowA phos, bio pallets , carbon, cr + 2 teaspoon Cacl and 1 teaspoon Kh powder everyday.

I feel flattered by your comments.

I am no expert. I went thro the steep learning curve. Anything can happen with a reef tank. Black Swan Syndrome.

Spot early trouble and quick to act on it..

When everything is fine, one is called an expert.

The next day, trouble brews, the expert becomes a blurred reefer and starts asking questions.

This is one heck of a hobby.

Thanks HappyReefer.
