New Ritteri question

[cali9dub]

Do you keep your flow (power heads) on all night long or dial them back/turn them off when the lights go out?

 

[ballr]

I keep my power heads on reef crest throughout the day and night, and do not adjust the flow.

 

[cali9dub]

How long of a lighting period are you using and does it include any ramping up and down ?

 

[D-Nak]

My mag is under a Kessil A350 so it doesn't ramp up or down. It's on for about 9 hours. I play with the blue and white intensity all the time and it couldn't care less. It's in a 30 gallon flat with a Jebao MP10 on pulse mode 24/7 (though the tank is connected to a 150 gallon system).

 

[cali9dub]

Lol. I have 360s and I still do the same. !!

I am running a gen 3 pro in a 60 cube for 12 hours, with ramp up and ramp down.

Are you running that sucker at 100% ?? :smokin:

I run 250w halides for 8 hours daily with an 1.5 before and after of blue actinic LEDs... Loves the light...

Flow runs constant

My ritteri gets 100% flow 24/7. I use 3 mp10's, two on tidal swell synch, and the other one on reefcrest, all set to 100% intensity, on a 90 gallon.

Probably one of those things that doesn't matter all that much. I used to run my pumps 24 hrs on reefcrest at 80%; now I ratchet them back to 40% at night. My Ritteri doesn't seem to care either way.

 

[cali9dub]

I left them on all night and it stayed fully opened all night long, but that was the first night. I'm sure it'll take awhile for it to really settle in. My ocellaris abandoned my S. Gigantea and jumped in the mag as well.

After 5 days. It was with USPS for 2 days, they failed to meet their 12:00 noon next day guarantee and instead delivered after 2 days. I thought it'd be doomed or need treatment at least. It deflated once the second day, which had me nervous, but has looked like this since...so far so good. (Fingers crossed)
