I read a study in r2r that when you ship out water for the icp tests the phosphate numbers would change in the bottle in shipping so I would always take the icp results with a little bit of skepticism.
I throw about 4 ml of reef energy to a 29biocube everyday and my nitrates and phosphates don’t budge at all. But I would assume at some point a a breaking point may be reached and when the levels rise they will rise fast so be careful with it.
It’s amazing the amount of an impact something as simple as sand can have on an aquarium, not only does it colonies thousands of bacteria on each end, it helps bind up phosphates and nitrates, so removing it once a system has gotten used to the bio load, alters it a lot.
Also the pocillipora has long polpys when they are happy so it tends to shade the lower/deeper branches so now that the tops or them aren’t extended all the way you get to see the deeper unhappy branch.
Yeah deff not getting stung by the monti. It seems like the growth rings are more of the greener that I was hoping it was. Has your nutrients fluctuated lately? My green stunner will turn brown if it’s not getting the light it wants, yours may be getting too much or too little light. The growth...
This Walt Disney tip was about to grow out of the water and start to die so I cut it back. Going to deff be a fast growing frag as it has many growth tips. White and blue light pics.
For tanks that don’t have a lot of fish waste like mine the reef energy helps a lot. My tanks always low nutrients however if I stray away from dosing the reef energy now that the corals are growing and using it as soon as it goes In the levels will fall flat so once the corals grow like crazy...
