Thanks.

I use a mix of all in one and vertex bio-pellets along with fozdown, healthy dose of rowa top it of with vinegar everyday.

I like to keep my po4 around 0.02-0.08 to keep corals at a more vibrant color. note that you will also need to keep a bit of no3 for a balance.

All your colours are really excellent. Would you elaborate on the vinegar and foz down? I'm intrigued by both. Manual or auto dose and how much how often? I like the look of all frags as much as colonies.

Nothing elaborate by any means but I do try to look at my corals and gauge how much or how less I need to dose. I think nothing is gonna tell you more than the health of the corals in tank.

140 gallons of water, I usually dose 10ml-15ml daily, 7-15 drops of foz-down in the filter sock also dosed daily. Rowaphos is used according to the BRS calculator and swap out 3-6 months depending on how the po4 is reacting.

All the dosing except for the big three is done manually but I think I will automate it very soon.

Hope this helps. Happy reefing!
