We notice that the colors of corals in the tank ... it's more "vibrant" ... more colorful ...
We changed nothing ... we do not add anything (no zeo, no iodine, no trace elements) ... We use instant ocean salt .... we have a calcium reactor (knop KORALlith), we stopped the kalkawaser reactor for the past few weeks (PH and KH remains good) ... we use e-bay MH...

Is this because the bio-pellets reactor? maybe .. maybe not ...

an example of more detail and vibrant color ... the brain:

Great thread!!!
 
WOW Josie...nice job all the way, great updates and with all the equipment specs too! That is very helpful for others to see. Love your devotion to keepin up the posts with ample pictures. That brain is soooo GEORGEOUS! The bio pellets probably help alot, reducing nitrates-which make colors drab and reducing phosphate-which inhibits calcification, you will probably notice a surge of SPS growth too. Great job, keep up the fantastic work. Love to hear reefers out there that are totally comitted to their tanks like you are. Looking forward to the next round of updates. Very inspiring!!!
Cheers Ronnie:biggrin:
