What happens to the coloration when para's are held at 10-11, 450,1300. Does it become washed out due to the faster calcification of the coral or is it from the concentration in the w/column with precip? & with the extreme growth they'll be very brittle? So yep pretty happy still over here.

I have friends that wanted an extreme growth, so they went on 500-550 PPm of CA and ALK of around 14dKH.
The thing is that with these parameters you will get the skeleton growing faster than the coral tissue, and you will get thin finger like corals.
