Your tank is looking awesome Mike.:) How many ml's per gal per day r u up to?

Great FTS! Care to share any tips on how you got that? My attempts always fall flat.

Thanks. It's really surprising how fast sps can grow once they take off. I'll be into the pruning stage in the next few months I would imagine as some are starting to grow into each other.

Hey man. I just upped my dosing actually to 140ml/day. I would assume with my sump volume that I have somewhere near 120 gallons of actual water in the system so just over 1.1ml/gallon. It's been a pain lately as the dosage keeps changing. It seems every few weeks i'm bumping it up by ten ml. Hopefully it stabilizes soon, i'm getting tired of testing all the time.

+1 against the testing. Hopefully it balances out for you. Mine did for about a month after I took out those 2 colonies. I may have to lose a bit more. Regardless of the extra work, keep it up, again things r looking sweet Mike.

Believe it or not that one was taken and edited with my iphone 4s. I've found for the best white balance I shoot it at a slight downward angle so that the sensor doesn't pick up the MH bulbs. The cropping and framing really make the shots look good. I pretty much cut out everything that is outside of the rockwork/livestock. I use the app camera+ to edit the photos. I do apply one filter to the pictures called sun kissed it just brightens it up and gets rid of some of the blue. The color is pretty true to what my tank actually looks like.

I also have a canon 40d slr but the white balance on the iphone seems to work better. The canon will obviously take a higher quality picture but those pics always require quite a bit of editing to get looking right.

Here is the original pic before I edited it.

Your Tank looks great! Love to see how the tank changes as you progress from day one to current tank shots. Thanks for sharing.

Picked up a few new corals
 

Grabbed a few new pieces yesterday. Starting to add some lps and will be removing a few of the lower sps pieces.

I love this tank. It's one of my favorite build threads. You seem to make it look so effortless too!

Thanks a lot for the comments. It's nice to have others appreciate the work that we put into our tanks.

I wouldn't say my tank is effortless but it has hit a sweet spot lately where I am getting good growth and colors with little maintenance.
