Nice is that a pure montipora? Good to know they get along!

Will they fight or get along? I have two plates that are now touching each other, they are different species.

Well light and flow can also play a role in my case i did reduce light intensity (whites mostly) and increased water flow. As long as the polyps are opening it should recover. I have lost GSP before for reasons i never figured out.

. You can see the same GsP to the far left of this shot.

8.0 to 8.3 my pH was in the low end 7.7 and over time things started to go south, i now keep a stable ph of around 8.1

Colours came back over time, its now a nice green again.

here's a shot with an SLR

Hello Twicefish, thank you for your comments and i am glad my pictures have helped, i do plan on posting some updates the first chance i get as i have made some more modifications. Plus corals have grown a lot since the last pics i took.

GHA and Cyano free now for a month! battle won..

Thanks for the tips!

I use reef crystals with added calcium, as for dosing, any recommended product and method?

Ok so what should i start dosing to maintain mag?

Actually i just opened a new bucket of salt, same salt mix as i usually use, just a fresh bucket. If kalk gradually increases mag then Increasing kalk dose to 1.5tsp per. 2.5 gallons should help maintain the declining mag.
