Don't get me wrong. U meant that u bought colonies instead of small frags to grow.

With that amount of sps colonies.. Ur cal and kh level drop v fast... Best invest in CR or change water v regular. .
Hi bro, after 3 months surprisingly with so many colonies, im still able to maintain my params at: Ca -495ppm Kh 7.7dkh Mg - above 1500. ( The above are tested on salifert ) But of course bro, i have a this practice to test my water params every week. So if happen any of the params were to lower/drop, i just tune my dosing pump to match the differences and test water again 3 days later. If still not enuf, continue the procedure:) Anyways, thanks for the reminder bro! Cheers!

Good Evening bro/sis,

Just a simple update on my tank progression.

Also the difference in colouration between the previous update and this update.

Can see much growth from many of my babies.. red and pink are popping up pretty well esp my plating milli which suffered from a heat stroke and turned brown. Can see obvious red tips. Purples are also doing well esp on my tenuis which my phone cam cant capture the colour.

Pls give as much comments and feedbacks!!!

Till next time.............

Cheers!
