ULNS and SPS x LPS

[OnlyCrimson]

So what is the change you made the difference? is it the AA/

No, it was actually putting food into the tank!

He originally decreased photo period, seems everyone has forgotten about that.

Yes, but after feed more the corals, I start to increase again the photo period and now I have 7 hours of MH and 9 hours of T5

I don´t have luck with pink colors. My stylo is starting to show some kind of pink but is far away from the hot pink that I saw in a lot of tanks. So sad

Best regards

Congrats on your new P.M.! Just a bit of advice though, make sure to raise your lights WAY off the water surface and acclimate to your SPS slowly! If not you will end up with bright white SPS and will take forever to recover. Trust me I'm guilty, the P.M. is a beast and puts out a ton of PAR compared to your old M.H. set up.

Thank you Fishypets,

I will start with 5 hours daily, this is good or less is better ?

Best Regards

That should be fine but you should also "raise" the fixture at least a foot also.

BTY I love your cube tank, it's so clean looking. Looks as if you just set it up yesterday.

You have a beautiful tank. Glad to read this, I think my tank has the same problem you were facing and you have inspired me to cut my metal halide back a few hours. Your SPS seem to be growing very well.

Elite

I think 4 / 8 hours of MH per day is enough

Much nicer, I'm glad you posted before/afters.

I may need to raise my halide up, I have a 250DE sitting over a 25g about 7" up, lol. I have noticed some pale colors lately and my green monti cap has turned brown. I'll raise it up to around 10".

Great thread, thanks!

Denadai,

Wonderful tank. It has been great watching your tank progress from the early posts in this thread.

Awesome plain and simple. One of the best "small" tanks on R.C. You've set the bar my friend!
