Is your spreadsheet available online?

I thinks even more now, i switch to the more concentrate PH+ solution.

Just google "glennf reef"
or my name and any reefing related combination

The lateste version is free available on my homepage.

What is the green coral growing along the back and spreading out? Pretty neat growth pattern.

Your welcome...

You probably mentioned this already in a earlier thread and/or page, but how do you manage space and distance around some of the different corals? Not sure how much it matters although I'd imagine it could cause problems.

I know in my little tank with mostly soft corals and a few LPS it isn't an issue for the most part. Not having owned many SPS or Stone corals I am not sure how they play together. Or, if it is like the wild and you let them sort it out outside a few areas where they can dominate. Or, is shearing part of the weekly/monthly requirement?

Thanks again, really nice looking tank.

Healthy Corals can take a lot of beating.
I just let them sort it out by themselves.
No weekly gardening in here , i don't have time for that.
I love my reeftank, but if i have to do that much or intensive maintenance, it would spoil it and i don't think i would have lasted this long in the marine hobby.

By spreading my attention between this and other hobby's it's more fun..

Thanks m8

Makes perfectly good sense to me, thanks. I tend to fall into that same boat whereas I want to keep my hands out as much as possible.

Great work again, and thanks for answering. You are doing amazing.

I requieres discipline to stay away from the tank.
I see some reefers changing their reefscape and method of reef maintenance more often than i change underwear.

Than they wonder why the tank won't flourish.........

This montipora confusa is also taking over the place

Now that is a cool shot. Is that a flame hawk there, red fish behind? If so, I bet he/she is just going bonkers with all of the areas it can perch on. Love those fish.
