Re: Pics of 7 month old reef tank My frogspawn coral tentacles are starting to get a neon green color to them, very cool! Also thought I'd post my water parameters as of this morning for posterity, and, feed back of course!
Salinity 1.023 (usually at 1.024)
temp 78F
Ph 8.0 (low but holds steady,)
Alk 2.0
dkh 7 (or 125.3ppm)
ammonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 0
calcium 440
magnesium 1200
iodine .02 (going to steady raise up to .05-.06)
This was the FIRST day I used my iodine test kit, because until now, I couldn't figure out how to use it! Works great though and, NOW I KNOW why my corals aren't as happy as they should be, they're still growing and happy, just, ya know, I've seen happier ones!

Reason: forgot to add temp.
