It's certainly do-able. But SM knows her stuff, and has put more time and work into researching and maintaining than lots of folks do with a new tank. Consequently she's had really good results.

how on earth did you get your coraline algea to take off like that?

It looks like every rock is covered in it , and I'm sure the glass would be to if you didn't clean it......amazing!! Looks GREAT!

Jupiter aligned with Mars. Once I started testing and dosing magnesium, the coraline took off. Keep your ca and alk levels up and mg should be between 1300- 1500 ppm. I tested my premixed saltwater I buy (IO salt) and it tests at 1110 ppm. Not acceptabe, so I dose. BTW...don't dose mg without testing.
