Hi all,
I am relatively new on the Atlanta reef club. I recently set up my 35 gallon cube (this is week 6). But I have been in the hobby for about 5 years now.
My tank specs are as follows:
Lights: 2 AI Vegas running at 25% whites right now, blues at 50%
Skimmer: reef octopus rated for 75 gal
Powerhead: jebao wp25 running at 50% power ( setting on W1 and Power S3)
Return: rio 7
Carbon and GFO in a dual BRS reactor
Controller: apex
Dosing brs 2 part on timers attached to the apex
Alk: 8 dkh
Ca: 420 ppm
Mg: 1300 ppm
Ammonia, nitrates, nitrites:0 ppm
Temp: 78
Ph: 8.1
Livestock:
2 clown fish
1 fire shrimp
About 40 lbs of live rock
About 20 lbs of live sand
1 small 2 head Duncan frag
1 ricordea shroom
4 frag of birdsnet in various areas of the tank ( 1 on sand bed, 2 in the middle in completely different flow environments, 1 right at the top of my rock work in front of the power head)
1 frag of unknown acro
The parameters have been fairly consistent and I have been testing everyday for about 2 weeks before I introduced any coral into my system. I acclimated them slowly over a period of 2 hours and also light acclimated them through the functionality on the ai vega. But still there is no PE till now for both the sps frags. The Duncan and ric seem to be doing ok though.
It's been a week now since I put the coral in. Is there anything that I am missing?
I can't understand if it's a flow related issue or lighting/positioning issue. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Rev
