Vote pic 2! A super rare instance captured of a torch with a banded/patterned flesh band!

If you don't dose anything and don't do waterchanges, does that mean none of your coral are growing?

Mine suck up enough alk/cal in a week that my tank would crash pretty quickly if I wasn't dosing to keep up with growth.

I feel like the math doesn't add up.

My coral grow great

In 1 year I grew 25+ heads of hammer, 12+ heads of torch. My scroll coral became 3” larger in diameter. My chalice grew 2-3”. I grew 10 exosphere zoanthids in 1.5 months. I don’t keep track of everything that’s just the top of my head

I don’t daily dose anything. I add all for reef in my once a week manual fw top off to maintain/replenish alk/ca/trace

Post #1 stated this :)

I probably got lured away from post 1 by the pics in post 2 :eek:

Very cool :cool:

I'm dosing AFR daily, otherwise my Alk swings wildly, but otherwise my tank is pretty similar to yours. I actually can't do waterchangers right now even if I wanted because I can't keep my nutrients high enough over the last year.

Keep rocking dude
