Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Aminos and marine/reef snow, daily. No system in particular. For bacteria, I change out the FM Bacto Reef Balls every two weeks. And when I first setup the tank, I seeded it with BioDigest and maintain that as well, along with Bioptim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also any tips to achieve such great colours? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app You're most welcome, Muw. And thank you for the kind words! If you're referring to the rose milli at the top left, right above it is an RBM frag. After struggling for survival the first few months, it's starting to show some progress, with polyps extending a little and coralites turning blue .

SRC Member danano Posted April 25, 2020 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 25, 2020 As to the colours, I've always liked to look of the corals under T5s. Going with a full LED setup for the 50g, my aim was to achieve the same visual. I played around with the LED light settings/spectrum and program to achieve a similar effect. Light is but one factor. Maintaining optimal water parameters coupled with mixed turbulent flow contribute to bringing out the best in corals. Plus a low nutrient environment means "less brown", allowing the colour pigmentation in corals to standout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
