Thanks everyone for the kind words. I've always tried the easiest and most colorful corals I could find. I've been thinking about trying SPS (Steve's stag for sale caught my eye). Steve, if you read this, are you interested in trading for purple gorgonian or blue sympodium frags, lol? Anyway, I'm cautious since it seems like I neglect my tank a little in the spring/summer months due to my kid's sports. I don't think I did a water change or dose anything from April to July this year, I just kept it topped off. After doing a couple water changes and started using reef plus again the colors came back really well, the meteor shower is slower in getting color back but it is. I currently dose Mag as needed and 2 part alk and calcium. Although I haven't dosed them in 6 months. I've been thinking of switching to kalkwasser in the top off water. Any thoughts on which is better and easier?
