diesel3443 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Additionally, changed some of the leds and added two Rebel Cyan, two Lime, and 2 COB Vero 10s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Additionally, changed some of the leds and added two Rebel Cyan, two Lime, and 2 COB Vero 10s. Curious, what kind of light fixtures are you running? Ive been wanting to try the Lime LEDs out because I've heard great things about how they can really affect our perceived colors of corals.

Running a old evergrow unit with all the whites removed for blues and violets and no lenses for better light diffusion. I then also have the Rebel Cyan, two Lime, and 2 COB Vero 10s glued to the board and are running off a third channel. Ill take a picture tonight to better explain it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel3443 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 what are your tank parameters and what did you do to dip and/or acclimate? Cal 440Alk 8.4 dkhMg 1400Phosphate 0.00 on checker. Nitrates 2 ppm (would be zero but I sporadically use potassium nitrate to increase) I dip everything in revive or bayer. After the dip, right in the tank. This tank will also serve as a QT for my Acros once my large tank is established. The spend 2-3 days on the sand then it's glue to rocks. If they don't like it I may move them depending on the Coral. If it's a no namer, I'll prob just leave it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Sean, corals are looking good. That transformation was pretty amazing. I would be interested to see your colors with a little more PO4 and NO3 in the tank.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still at zero.... I do not want to go too crazy as I still have some new tank algae. I just ordered another PP-4 as well.

FarmerTy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Looking good! My personal opinion is phosphate need never be dosed but nitrate, absolutely if you are near zero. I prefer 5-8ppm of nitrates for best SPS coloration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
