The quality of the tank continues to amaze me the attention to detail, the clear silicon and the one piece euro is mind blowing, Dave has the edge here on tank building!

The GHL Mitras LED coral test!

Photo uploaded is of a very sorry for itself looking chunk of what used to be green with purple edges plating Montipora. This is what is left from my huge colony. As you can see its not very colourful, yes it has some purple showing through just about, and yes the water is slightly cloudy thanks to Prodibio kicking up a nice bio bloom while the tank matures. But I think we all can agree my camera work does not get good enough for photoshop.

So lets wait a few weeks and see what colour this goes under GHL Mitras LED:) Place your bets please :)

The tank is looking great! In reading I saw that you said Prodibio can create a little hazyness to the water early on....I didn't know this before...does that happen each time we dose? I have been thinking that my water isn't as "clear" as I expected it to be.

This only happens if you have either a new tank with zero biological action or are dirty tank.

The FIRST bacteria to populate any system is Heterotrophic bacteria this is water born and multiplies rapidly, this bacteria is what you see in new tank syndrome known as cloudy water. This bloom only lasts a few days to a week while the Autotrophic bacteria start to colonies.

Once there is no more water born food for the Heterotrophic bacteria it will die back within hours.

So in a mature system you should not see Heterotrophic bacteria bio blooms unless you over feed or have poor husbandry.

If you do its not a bad thing in fact the complete opposite, it shows there is bio mass in your system that needs to be addressed.

Typically you will not see this bio bloom unless you have a new tank.

My tank just cleared over night!
