Sucks to have half your post lost during posting .... I can't find the rest I wrote
Gather an update wouldn't hurt
Fall of 2019 I was battling slow SPS growth and suspected new tank syndrome after my re-start back in June/July 2019.
I went through all the dinos/diatoms/miscellaneous algae.
It wasn't until Jan 2020 that I found Red Bugs. I had not added ANYTHING to my tank since 2016, so either I had them all along, or they came from some snails I bought locally.
I treated them in Feb/20 with some Milbemycin and what a HUGE difference after. Polyp extension is massive, and my pod population bounced back awesomely.
I started regularly dosing NO3 and PO4 around this time and my SPS colors are looking awesome.
I'm still testing weekly the Big 3, K, and NO3 PO4, but I plan on backing off the N and P testing to Monthly once I get a grip on my tank's usage.
Guess that's all for now, so time for pics
