Oh very nice. Ww just switched from the regular to the pro and we are loving it

I’m very interested in how it works out for you please keep us posted.

Not necessarily most likely is possible but I’ve pooped and dropped his frags into my tank and they did very well and even kept their color

Plopped and dropped, right?

@SBB Corals If a client has their alk at 7-7.3 and purchases a coral that is kept in 12 alk, would that cause STN/RTN once placed in the client's tank?

this is a very very good question and i would love to here other chime in as well.

I am not sure TBO i heard that in indonesia the alk is very un stable and changes alot with the high and low tides, but that once the corals are in our tanks for long period of time they become used to be very stable. Personally we have a few systems and the alk varaies from one to the next by about 1 dkh. Also we use red Sea pro salt now and the Alk jumps up about .5 DKH on each water change but then comes back down. With that said I do think if the Alk is from 7 in one tank and then goes into 12 on another tank it may affect it. BUt i am not totattly sure most people would probally say this would have a bad affect.

what is your current alk and do you have a bad experiance with this.

As mentioned would love to hear other comments ....

almost like conditioning for a sport . My alk is at 10.5-11 and i got polyp extension within hours of putting fresh frags in yesterday.

My alk jumps around 7-9 daily and I never have any problems. I’ve had multiple equipment malfunctions where I had +5 dKh swings and never had any issues.
Alk swings are not sps killers. If you can’t keep sps quit chasing your tail worrying about alk “stability”. Look somewhere else

One of my big revelations in keeping sps was salinity stability. couldn't keep sps before ato, am able to after. or it could have been the Apex Dos i hooked up but i was already dosing pretty steady before that.

You forgot Tasty Taffy, Bugs Bunny, and Cosmic Bubblegum. I was going to ask - @Alex's Nano Reef - Sailor Moon or Blood Moon?

Hi guys after 3 years I feel like this tank is decent enough and need to start a new tank... I set up a new 120 Gallon Display tank with some bonsai tree Rock work and plan to select some frags from the main display for this new tenuis grow out. its going to be a long journey replicating the main system parameters and growing the selected frags out. I am also excited to see how the radian g5s compare to the g4s. In the current tank they are grown using the g4s and the new tank will be the g5s.

Alright guesses are in. I edited it and added the names.

My alk and other parameters are all stable. I keep my KH at 7-7.3..that is my swing. With low nitrates and PO4 that is my sweet spot for KH. 90% of my tank is acros. Don't want to spend $300+ for one frag and have it STN/RTN because it was kept in a high KH

Currently I’m raising my nutrients from .06 Po4 and 13.6 No3 to around .08-.1 and to 16-20 on No3

@SBB Corals what are your current parameters in your SPS tanks?
Alk
PO4
NO3

If you can keep 70- 85% of acros you purchase alive and healthy then an alk change from a vendors tank to yours will not be a problem.
