Bubble Tips and Kessil Lighting!

[JeffyT]

Hi RC,

I think I'm being super paranoid when it comes to my nems and the conditions I have for them.

My parameters :

8.3 ph, 2.015 Salinity, 445 Calc, 1460 Mag, dKh 10.4, nitrates .4ppm phosphates close to zero.

Im running my kessil A360W at 10 percent intensity and ramps to about 40 percent and at 100 percent color.

I have four BTAs that seem to all have their own preferences.

I was wondering if any experienced Nem keepers had their mp10's set at and what intensity of light they keep it at.

I have an ATO, skimmer and I do weekly water changes.

If anything your salinity is low

If anything your salinity is low

+1, is that salinity a typo?

I haven't done it, but I will soon. I have an A350 on the way for my Solana that I plan to stock with BTAs. They are growing everything else in my 120g, but there are no nems in there. I'm interested in the feedback though.

They all will have their own preferences. They will also go wherever they want. I have 5 at the top that cover most of the top of my tank. There are two more that grow well under them and don't get much light, but come out as the others when the lights are on.

I also suggest to make sure you have enough flow present so they can move to their liking

I have several different nems in my tank. The tank is 36x18x12. I'm running my Kessils around 60% and I run the MP10 at 90% on reef crest
