Hmm, I'm doing weekly waterchanges, ca and alk are spot on. Must be that nutrient thing as I seem to be growing algae rather well. No great surprise for me

Christy, do you have a sand bed? I went BB this time, and I can see the difference in growth from older tanks with sand.

No I don't have a sandbed, that was my final resort to get rid of the dinos last year. I have had great success since I got rid of the sandbed last May and will never go back to having one.

Guess I just need to deal with the nutrients issue now.

Christy - ya it's low nutrients that makes this successful and it's very obvious when you get to see it in person - thanks again Brad! I can relate to feeling like being in "frag mode"... but after having a nice visit with Brad and having a good look at his SIMPLE but spectacular system, I know what I must do to get this kind of growth... the windswept birdsnest is an unreal purple and is very much related to the crazy flow he has going on in there - 2 Tunzes in a 75g tank for all those that want to take notes!

Brad - I DO need to do a mainland tank tour, but you don't have to take a backseat to anybody. That growth in 15 months is staggering! Now if I could get my frags to grow even half that much with those kind of colours and polyp extension I would be very satisfied indeed!
