ckyuv Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hey Jim! I didn't realize you were using a kessil as well until your post. Not sure if you got your light setting where you want it but when I have ever had issues in the past with light, brightwell aquatics "revive" works wonders. It's worth the investment imo!

jolt Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm not sure it's where it needs to be yet either. Reburn and I have been comparing our settings and we at least now have a baseline. I have been seeing the corals start to color up a bit so the current theory on my recent problems was a combination of under nutrition and over lighting. I'll keep the revive in mind for the future, thanks for the tip! What do you currently run your Kessils at for color and intensity and how far off the water are yours? (Also are you using the WE or N models?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I got the 360we ones, I think I'm at like 40% color and 60% intensity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Wow, I am the opposite: 40% intensity and 60% color. I'll keep watching your build thread to see how that''s working out for you. How high off the water are your lights, and how deep is your tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The lights are 3.5" off surface and the tank is about 23" deep. I just left the light on the same setting its been on for a while when I moved them over. I'll prob turn them up after a month or two once I make sure the new tank is doin good and the new corals acclimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 That is way more light than Reburn and I are running. Please keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Inspired by SAM's topdown shots earlier today. It's not the same league as his, but it's been a while since I posted any pics: Little Monti Setosa I got from Reburn: And MIMF Blue Bottlebrush I got as a tiny nub from SAM. One of my favorites: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAM Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I gotta say that I have become really find of that RR Nautica monti you've given me. That's one of my favorite mom to nowaday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've had a gateway tank for three years now. It is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Can you go ahead and tell the other board members the equipment you run on that gateway tank? It's enough to run a much larger tank easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrEnuf Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That goes for Victoly too! I don't think water volume is really a good indicator for gateway tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Can you go ahead and tell the other board members the equipment you run on that gateway tank? It's enough to run a much larger tank easily. Maybe a 60 cube. No return pump though. And then I'd need a sump and a CaRx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 It's just a little bit of equipment Ty, really! Oh wait, you were talking about Victoly's tank. I get it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
