The Life of Blue Spots Tank 1800L

[Pastey]

Here is my coding:

Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If Swx2_1 CLOSED Then OFF
If Swx2_2 CLOSED Then OFF
If Outlet Pump_I3 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 010:00 Then ON

I never use the "Feed" command which would turn my return and skimmer off. The "Swx2_1 and 2" are for my leak detector. I have the same programming in my return pump for them which is sort of redundant. What you're looking for are the last 2 lines.

Perfect thank you pastey I'll give that a try

Been a while since I have updated so . Rockwork is rebuilt . Byropsis is back !! I've had a new bio pellet reactor as my nitrates are still higher than I would like and I've had a few sps corals green up . From what I have read I think this is due to my higher nitrate levels so I'm going to concentrate on trying to get these down . Everything else is looking and doing well, no deaths , a couple of coral falls which have caused some damage but on the whole a good month. I've got some pictures ready to post , some with the orange filter on which shows the fluorescence better, funnily enough though I found a pink filter gave a more realistic representation . I'll try and get them posted.

Theirs a big picture update. The pink filter were the second batch, and to me looks more like the colour under blue than the Orange filter. Managed to get a few good pictures of the tigerpyge aswell. Normally it's that quick , they are always blurry. As you can see Bert is doing well also , lots of colour on him so quite a change from the drab brown fish I baught I also think I have nearly had him a year now (I'll read back and check) but this was (as the title suggests) the main fish I wanted to keep so fingers crossed for another year. I am also trying a spider sponge out , I have read these are difficult to keep, but I'm going to have a go at it. If anyone has kept one long term I would love to know about it.

Hi everyone, I have a question I am hoping someone can help with. Angels and sponges. Do angelfish eat sponges ? I have read it is a essential part of the diet but mine seam to be uninterested in them . I have put the angelfish food in that contains sponge and they don't touch it. I have also just added a sponge and was concerned they may pick at it , but nothing. Any ideas or suggested reading for me?

One more question. Radion templates. The colour enhancement program. Is this to enhance the corals colour , or just display them under blues . We are talking sps here? Again any help appreciated.

I'm going to try going back to the colour enhance program and see how I get on for a while with the rations. I am thinking I only started to get a byropsis bloom when I switched program for the sps. I have had a good search but cannot seam to find if anyone has tried this long term so I'll let you know how it goes.
