Palegic, do you have a build thread on the tank? Specs and equipment as well as dosing and husbandry habits?
I like the change in the rock work, looks great!

[PelagicMagic]

thanks.
I did have a build thread but I had it removed due to the frequent change in plans. I guess I could start another one.

A few months back I started having montis bleach and other sps brown out out .....things were not looking good. alk was fine , salinity was fine, cal fine, but did find mag was low....about 1100 which was low for me (usually 1400-1500) . I raised mag and slowly things are coloring up again. good luck .
