Welcome to nano reef, keep posting pictures of your setup. +1 this is my first time seeing this thread and I'm on here quite a bit.. looks like a pretty good start.. definitely avoid the blue tang, far too small of a tank..

Tropi Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mine is an aqua one AR620, it's not really made for saltwater though but hasn't given me any trouble yet other than having to upgrade the light. Link to comment
Liamgray90 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 That's good mate I'm having trouble with the lighting blue plays up big style Link to comment

Liamgray90 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 You put 10balls in initial and 3 a week after boosts bacteria Link to comment
Liamgray90 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 So I have a question for you all I'm seeing some of your tanks have multi coloured lighting not just led white and led blue Is there a reason for this Link to comment
GHill762 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 So I have a question for you all I'm seeing some of your tanks have multi coloured lighting not just led white and led blue Is there a reason for this red/amber/etc make up for poor white selection (give warmth and color to non-fluorescent colors) green/cyan/lime make the tank brighter to your eyes violet is suppose give better fluorescense and growth then there is royal blue vs cool blue, most think a mixture is best warm white vs cool white vs neutral white, opinions vary, most people are going towards neutral or a mix of them I may have some of that wrong, but I think that's fairly close..

Liamgray90 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Do you have multiple on at the same time tho Cheers for reply At the moment only using white It's on a timer Blue is faulty from factory awaiting replacement Link to comment
GHill762 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Do you have multiple on at the same time tho Cheers for reply At the moment only using white It's on a timer Blue is faulty from factory awaiting replacement yeah. here's what I do over the course of the day: off moonlights blues (very low) all lights (ramps up then back down) blues (very low) moonlights off Link to comment
Liamgray90 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 How much lighting hours do you have I'm on 8 hours a day Link to comment
Liamgray90 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've recently had a 2 degree rise in temperature is this because of heat increase in weather It normally runs at 25degrees and has never risen now its at 27 I've wound the heater down a bit Any ideas Link to comment
