120g SPS -a-Palooza

How often do you dose iron?
Or is it in an auto doser?
Just curious because the only time I get an actual reading for iron is a couple hours after dosing a bulk amount. Otherwise, it's always been 0
Forget, do you have an algea scrubber of some sort?

Dosing 25ml of Red Sea colors ABCD. Part C is iron. Looking for a better iron additive once I run out of the Red Sea stuff. When ever I test its always around 0-.05

Have a 65g Fuge with various macros and a big ball of cheato in a separate sump.

Finally finished with rescaping the left side of the display removed a few colonies cut down some others and stuck in a bunch of branch rock. Still have to mount some frags but this is where I'm at for now.

Side shot

FTS

I'll try and get some top downs when I mount rest of the frags. Think I stressed the acros enough for 1 day.

Solid tank. Sometimes that's the fun part. Slight but dramatic changes and reefscaping. Little bit of shock to acros builds character I say.

Colors look fantastic. Have I bugged you about PAR readings ... I'll go look back in the thread.

Got a hold of the clubs par meter and found some interesting results.

Main display lighting 8x54w ATI dimmable both channels at 100% hung 7" from the surface. All Giesemann bulbs about 3 months old.

Actinic blue
Actinic blue
Super actinic
Aqua blue azure
Super purple
Actinic blue
Aqua blue azure
Actinic blue

Par#'s
Just below the surface 475-500
At the sand bed 90-150
All the Acros are getting 200-300

Overall very even par which is expected with t5 but thought par would have been a bit higher on the Acros. On the other hand my rock work is a bit low most the corals are mounted 12" or more from the surface

Also took readings on the frag tank. Have 2 of the 165w black box LEDs
Lights are hung 10" off the water. Blue channel at 100" white/red/green channel at 30% par ranges from 50-200.

You already posted, so quoting it here. I am thinking I need to lower PAR a bit to stay sane. My acros are getting 300 - 500 and will pale if I don't feed regularly.

Thanks for answering your own question mark[emoji106]
The acros in my system have the best coloration in the 250-300 par range. In one of the frag tanks I'm pushing 350-400 and colors system to fade out a bit but better growth.

Makes two of us that toasted an ice fire echinata this week [emoji37] I haven't had the best long term luck with this particular piece. Part of me thinks they like the shade

Valida and pink lemonade

Finally started dosing iron with auto doser 4 doses over 24hr @ 3ml/dose. Fuge and cheato already responding nicely.
