    Snappy if thats on the plain side there must be some real stunners out there, That coral is beautiful. I would be so happy to have a coral like that in my sps reef. I can't believe you think its plain. I am so envious.

    New Sps reef

    Thanks again Kevin. Going for a couple of locally fragged M. Digitata. I thought they would be more hardy than impoted corals. I was lucky to get talking to a man in LFS who has many frags of different sps corals. He invited me to house to see setup and offered a couple of frags very cheap. They...

    New Sps reef

    I am highly satified with Red Sea products especially the salt. It costs me £50 ( $100 ) for a 25 Kg bucket of salt, roughly the same give or take a few £ for most salts here. To the new mix of salt i do not have to add anything. It is the ideal params for my reef. If I were to but a cheaper...

    New Sps reef

    Hi dailydriven911. Tank params are like that from my salt, have not actually dosed anything. The water is completely fresh mix. Only way to lower would be to buy another type of salt with lower readings.
