Hinch5 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hey all. New to the forum though I have come here to answer my questions frequently. I have had my lagoon 25 for 2 weeks now. Transfered my 7 gallon into it and pretty sure i bypassed a new cycle. But since I have had my AI prime Hd on this tank(and my 7 gallon come to think of it) my corals have been suffering. My water Params are in check and stable(I test daily, sometimes twice). I'm thinking the switch to the led from halides and t5's has been stressful. I have dialed down my light to max out at 30 percent through its schedule. Would love if some folks could bounce some ideas around. Link to comment
Clown79 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hello and Welcome. If your water params are all stable, it could be the chsnge in lighting. I find corals seem to be more susceptible to lighting changes with LED. I started my Ai Prime at 30% and only increased it 2% weekly. Try to keep your whites lower than the blues and violets. A lot of ppl keep the reds and greens low. Link to comment
Hinch5 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Cool. What do you do for new corals? Place them in low light spots and slowly move them towards new spots? Link to comment
Bowen1022 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Cool. What do you do for new corals? Place them in low light spots and slowly move them towards new spots? When I ran my prime I had my reds and green really low and white pretty low around 30% with the blues and such up around 80. As for new additions I just dialed down the light for a day or two then ran like normal Link to comment
Clown79 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 For new additions most will put them on the substrate and slowly acclimate them higher in the tank. Link to comment
