So I was in my LFS when there coral order from indonesia came in. I have been looking for a blue sponge for quite a while and they had a large sponge that just arrived, so I picked it up. It is around 5" across and 6" tall. While I was putting the sponge into my display, I saw one of the other LFS had gotten in Brightwell sponge excel. So I picked some up. I talked to a few people and nobody has used this stuff before, so I am going to do a test to see if this stuff works or if it is a gimmick.
So here is the sponge today after I put it in my display.
It is currently under 150 watts of LED's and it is in a area with medium light. It has a power head pointing towards it around a foot and a half away for flow and I am supplementing the tank with a amino acid blend with food, ZeoBak, Phol's coral Vitalizer and Bio-pellets.
I will be dosing the sponge excel daily. I will be putting 2 drops in a day to start and in a few weeks I will increase the dose as needed.
Hopefully all goes well and my first sponge doesn't die on me! If you have any recommendations, please let me know!
