Just wanted to make a quick update. The growth has really started to take off again. My dkh is droping 1.5 per day which is annoying to dose but a good sign for the corals. I also stopped dosing vinegar (carbon) Because it was causing some corals to go pale. I will take some more pictures over christmas.

It has been a few months since I have updated this thread but I took a couple of quick pictures with a cheap digital camera to show some progress. I had to get rid of a few corals to make room for the growth I have been getting. Also I have begun dosing a few zeovit products and they have been helping a bit with color.
I still have never done a water change on this tank and do not plan on doing one unless the corals show some sign of stress. I do dose a lot and test often but other than that I just let nature take its course. I think you will eb able to notice some big growth from the last pics even though I have fragged mostly every coral in there.
Enjoy!
