I am very happy to report that I purchased the Apex Gold system this weekend I got a deal that was better than black friday on a new one so I couldn't pass it up. Very excited to get it setup. I got all the lighting going but need some probe holders and want to figure out all my wire management before I finalize it. Since I still have a working 8 outlet power bar from my old Apex, I can now control up to 16 outlets with the new setup!
Lighting is setup as follows.
Actintic 1- on at 7:30
Actintic 2- on at 7:45
Coral +1- on at 9:00
Coral +2- on at 9:30
MH1- on at 12:00
MH2- on at 12:30
MH3- on at 1:00
MH1- off at 6:00
MH2- off at 6:30
MH3- off at 7:00
Coral +1 off at 8:00
Coral +2 off at 8:30
Actintic 1 off at 9:00
Actintic 2 off at 9:30
I also picked up a Red Sea Coral pro test kit with Ca, Mg and Alk, an orange shoulder tang and 5 more decent frags of coral. Will post pix later this week.
lastly, I was reading into the Gyre flow that Nina posted about. I am trying something different with the MP40's. Instead of reef crest mode, I am doing the long pulse mode and like the way the flow is moving in the tank even better now. I have them setup opposite of one another with the max speed set at 80% and the pulses last about 30 seconds each. Long enough to really move a wall of water across one side of the tank before it switches to the other.
