I choose to play it safe lately and keep a very low nutrient level. My colors are lighter that I would like but the corals grow faster, and IME (in the type of environment) the survival rate on my acros is awesome.
agree thanks for the tip...already spinning lol...sps pain in the behind but luv the challenge.
another thing I dont understand is I added a 37 g tank sharing the same sump, rocks r from the org display tank. only difference are added extra 37g water(TDS reading 0,alk,cal.mag par matched), a week later I get green alge in small tank and red slime in big tank and some sps browning out.
