Kinda like how a nem splits.

That's how they reproduce. Mine slide an inch over and leave a little baby behind.

I stay up late sometimes, and corals seem to be doing well. And afraid if I change it my rbta might move.

I also run my lights for a long time - 9am to 1am, but they start low - about 20% and peak at about 60% and ramp back down. I noticed my corals looked better once I automated the light schedule and added the ato. Anyone else run their lights that long or longer?

I dose calc too, but I have to add alk 5x as often. Anyone else have to dose way more alk than calc? I need to start testing for mag too, haven't yet.

Thanks! Btw that frogspawn you sold me gets huge and grew another head, and those green palys grow like crazy.

Special thanks to all the wamas members for being very generous with corals and help. Wamas membership has been the best $20 I have ever spent!

Any advice for corals that are compatible near a rbta?, because my 2 rbta are taking over the left corner of my tank and sting anything near them.

Ive been pretty lucky so far, no major issues. I think I have done well bc I went +1 on the skimmer, started with a big clean up crew from reef cleaners, and only feed 1 tsp of food, once a day (mix of frozen and pellets soaked in selcon). I feed reef roids a few times a month. Sometimes I get purple fuzzy cayno, put changing out my little bag of GFO seems to do the trick. I am seeing good growth with some sps, lps seems to grow slower, and palys grow pretty fast. My nem split after only about 3 months, luckily they both stay right next to each other.

I have recently started manually dosing 2 part. I am having issues keeping ALK up, something in my tank seems to suck up alk. I probably add 30 ml twice a week, calc is used more slowly. I added an avast ATO with toms agua lifter pump - works perfect - totally pnp. Only issue I had was a slow drip siphon, so I had to hang the ato line a few inches over the sump, so when it adds water it falls about a foot - easy fix. I use a 10 gal as my ATO container, only have to refill it every week or week and a half or so.
