Wazzel's mostly SPS 60 Cube

[cnewsome]

Looking good!

 

[Wazzel]

Since I get asked for my settings and I can never find them, here they are.

RB, DB 100%
V 97%
W 90%
UV 85%
G 80%
R 74%

inflection points are 0800, 1000, 1250, 1640, 1930, 2130
percent of totals at inflection point DB 4% all others 0%, 80%, 100%, 100%, 80%, DB 4% all others 0%

If you do decide to follow what I have done, please proceed slowly. It took me 6 months to work up from 50% of these setting to what they are now.

Great thread and tank.

I have a 60x60x60cm cube, similar to you, including centre of tank scope.

How are you managing to keep a yellow tang? Every fish shop I visit say it can't be done, including today when I inquired about a yellow eye kole.

Thanks. The yellow tang is doing fine for now. A tank this size is probably a bit on the small side for any kind of tang. Long term I am not sure how it will work out. It gets along well with the other fish and is in better shape now then when I got it. My tank is non-steril (has some algae) so it has some food.

Tank and corals look great and I'm glad to see your success with the hydra 52!

 

[Wazzel]

Thanks Reeftub. I misjudged how much space I needed and how fast things would grow once they took off. My pink birds nest is growing like a weed and I am having a hard time keeping up the Ca and Alk demand with 2 part. Guess those are good problems.

 

[Wazzel]

I was playing around with my camera tonight. This is just shy of one month of growth. Sorry for the crappy picture quality. I am still working out the new camera.

 

[Reeftub]

Yea the room goes fast! Your growth and color are good,

 

[Wazzel]

I tried to get the tang to pose in the background again, but he just gave me the fin and swam off. Kids

Nice colors and corals you have. I have the ai hydra 26 over my sump and get nice colors also but my settings are not even close to yours. My frag rack is only 4" below the water line.

 

[Wazzel]

Thanks. The pieces in th comparison pic are around 18" below the water.

Sweet looking setup & nice lighting! :thumbsup:

Tank is looking very nice. Definitely nice improvement. :thumbsup:

 

[Wazzel]

Thanks. It seems like it is hitting its stride.

can you share the map please ?

 

[Wazzel]

Here you go, a little different than the graph I posted. Since then I bumped a few things up.

 

[chercm]

is it recommended to use the acclimation function on the director for 50% for 6 months ?

 

[Wazzel]

is it recommended to use the acclimation function on the director for 50% for 6 months ?

That is what I started with due to being extremely cautious. I added two frags to my tank Tuesday and I am doing a 30% 2 month acclimation. I think if you are going to increase the power you should do a multi-month acclimation.

 

[chercm]

I used your map and placed it on acclimation -50% reduction for 6 months
