[mark54321]

hey Mark, are you happy with the tek light?

Yes ,I am happy with Tek,as you can see corals grow very nice. I use ATI bulbs and change them every 6 months.

Tank is looking really good Mark. Keep up the great work. How is the iodide dosing coming?

What type of lights are hanging on the underneath side of your fixture? It's looking wonderful!

Thanks Nick,I noticed since I started dosing that one of my corals that lost some tissue starting to regrow it again.I also think I see difference in SPS colors,getting deeper and more vibrant.

The growth your getting is incredible. Sorry if I missed it but, are you dosing anything? I guess it's true that sometimes simpler is better.

Nice video Mark, forgot to ask u for how long your ato pump runs each time? I wanna get mine setup this weekend because u almost ran my tank out of water with me being so busy lately.

 

[mark54321]

I have mine set up about 5 min.each time it turns on.It will depend on humidity of your house,you have to experiment a little.What I did I let my water evaporate for 24 hrs.,then turn my pump on and timed how long it took to fill it back up to previous point.Then I just divided this time by 6 (that's how many times my pump turns on in 24 hr.,if you want yours to be on more often or less divide it by that number)and I got the time it should be on for each cycle.Hope I explained this clear for you.
