Matteo Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't know about NB lights, but aren't whites the color that "grows/feeds" corals and blues mainly for your eye? Nope, corals will completely grow still from Blues. The point of the blue spectrum is to mimic sunlight in deeper water. He could run only Blues and Violets and still get growth. Maybe not as much but still growth for sure. Yeah you're settings are high! My 4 V3s are at 15% Cyan, 40% V, 25% RB, and %18 White hahaha I didn't want to blast my corals away. Or my eyes... 2 Quote Link to comment

pgrVII Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 So I've got the dinos #### this tank Honestly I'm gonna shut it down now I think. Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 No! Are you sure it isn't cyano that just caught some bubbles? I finally got rid of all my cyano in my tank, and it used to have a few bubbles trapped in its slimy web of nastiness. So I've got the dinos#### this tankHonestly I'm gonna shut it down now I think.

I finally got rid of all my cyano in my tank, and it used to have a few bubbles trapped in its slimy web of nastiness. I really want to think that's what it is. But given my general luck it's probably dinos. It is in a very turbulent area of flow between the rw4 and a return Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hm.. When you do another water change suck it up, scrub it and do some peroxide. See what happens. I am pretty sure I read somewhere of how to test if it is dinos v cyano. You suck it out, put it in a bottle and shake it up. Then if the algae goes back together fast after shaking t it is dinos, and if it takes a long time for the algae to go back together it is cyano. Something like that... Ill look it up I really want to think that's what it is. But given my general luck it's probably dinos. Here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2531708 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 So I've got the dinos #### this tank Honestly I'm gonna shut it down now I think. NOOOO!!! Are you sure it is dinos? I had some really thick diatoms and cyano that looked similar and I freaked thinking it was dinos but it wasn't. Quote Link to comment
patback Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yeah doesn't seem like dinos to me. You better not close this tank up after posting a picture every day of its existance. . 2 Quote Link to comment
