Bonus Entry: I wish this chalice would grow more, have had it about 2 years and it has just barely double in size. I've had other corals that have grown more than 10-15 times their original size.

DAILY QUESTION: How long have you been growing corals?

I've been growing corals for 3 years. Started out really slow for the first two and a half years but have gotten really serious about improving over the past few months.

What has been the single best thing you've done to help boost coral growth in your tank - I stopped changing things, stability = happy corals

I use an ATO and a dosing pump. Autofeeders and lights on timers. Nothing else is currently automated.

I have it fully automated with an integrated optical sensor. When I walk by the tank If I see it needs attention I think about it for awhile and eventually get around to it. Seems to be working ok for now.

With a Neptune Apex, DOS, and a programmed virtual outlet named maintenance that turns off/on all appropriate equipment so that I can complete whatever task I need to with the toggle of only one switch.

At the moment, I have an ATO and Hydros controllers which I'm still trying to figure out what and how to set it up for automating tank maintenance routine.

Bonus, I'd tell a newbie to go slow, do water changes, and don't make alot of changes all the time
