A new reef arises

[messy1messmer]

On that balling system do you use a home made dosing system or does someone make a system for it. do you drip it or is it on a dosing pump. Also do you have any pictures to show how it works . Thanks and the tank looks great. I ordered my T5 lighting from daul 400 14k MH aand look forward to see what my coral will do.

There are some good pictures in his old thread of his dosing system.

Hi Iwan

Super exciting Have you tired the new KZ T5s yet? Im impressed with the color and output they give.

Simon

From Thomas (Pohl).

"Particularly for reef aquariums this new T5 serfs lighting have however lighting gold have additive for the HQI. This new spectrum was tested and developed particularly for SPS. High life span, high-quality, German quality product. The tubes has one approx. 5-6% red share."

Our T5 plane tubes are produced by Sylvania according to our spectrum. Sylvania itself has No tubes with this spectrum. Everybody edge go to Sylvania and get has tube produced like He wants, goal minimum order quantity is 20,000 parts: -)

By our spectral tests, KZ bulb has the SAME spectrum as ATI Aquablue Special.

Hi Iwan,

Congratulations on another Masterpiece!

I'm also thinking of using the Balling Method, Which of the following would I need?

Natriumhydrogencarbonate

Calcium Chloride Dihyrate

Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate

Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate

TIA.

I use natrium hydrogen carbonate, NACL free salt and calcium chloride dihydrate daily (600ml of each) and magnesium chloride hexahydrate and magnesium sulfate biweekly (600ml of each).
With that I have a very constant ca and mg level (ca: 420 mg/l mg 1300mg/l)

Off topic I know - but plots would be interesting. IME though the new KZ tubes are the best I'v tried yet.

AquaScience DUO will be the next to try. Iwan - have you tried either and what is your impression?

Thanks

The AquaSience DUO is also a good bulb and also the KZ bulbs. Both bulbs have some LUX more then the ATI Aquablue spec. This point is not a quality aspect. The ATI bulbs have more blue parts.

Claude from Fauna Marin was over here at the weekend presenting his range to our local club.

He said that the Aqua Science range were 5 band phosphor tubes made by Narva, compared with the KZ tubes as triband made by the Sylvania and that both had 5-6% red with the remainder 50/50 white/blue. His claim was the the 5 band phosphor tubes would be better for growth compared with 3 band tubes.

Whats your experience of this please?

Thanks again

Simon

Simon,

we have 3 very good products.
I didn't detect a better or faster growing by using the FM tubes.
3 band or 5 band....I know this discussions During the summer time they fighted by better arguments.
At the moment there is a comparison between the tubes running. In a store in Germany they have running both tubes over the same frag tank (left side vs right side)

 

[Tiki G.]

Very nice. The colors are awesome. Like the graphics too.

 

[reefsahoy]

iwan, do you have a process for adding new sps corals to your tank to eliminate parasites, ect.

Hi Aleksander, your not is well taken Since these lights are has new item, the spectrum may not cuts been placed one Korallen-Zucht' S website yet. I also would suggest you contact Thomas Pohl to see yew He plans one publishing to their spectrum. While I cuts direct No knowledge of the Coral Light by K-Z, I doubt any other commercial bulb replicates it' S spectrum. Thomas Pohl does not "borrow" others ideas, & he' S always one the cutting edge of technilogical advancements, IMHO. Bob

By whom. In other words where might one find this graphs other than your links?

Just to make it maybe clearer... who did these tests and who supplied the graphs to you?
