slowngreen Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Such an ugly tank, why would you ever want one to be that healthy? 2 Quote Link to comment

If I was dosing everything would be growing twice as fast, more maintenance, more trimming, more work. 3 Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 So I spent 2 days trying to get fish pics and failing, except for Mr Sexy who can't get enough camera time. Here's one we decided not to use. 9 Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 A few more pics. I sat the camera in front of the tank on a tripod for two days and he refused to get used to it or give me at least one decent shot. 6 2 Quote Link to comment

I've had some of these corals for over 4 years so a variety of lighting but in the last 2 years these have been all LED, I added the supplemental T5 strip 6 months ago. Check out Dave's thread for what can be done with just LED. Quote Link to comment

I was wondering if you might be willing to share your bluefish settings:).... not all of them unless you don't mind .. I'm mostly curious about your midday color level/ intensity... 1 Quote Link to comment

Blue and Cyan channels: on at 10am, full between 12PM and 8PM, off at 10:30PM Violet: on at 10am, 50% between 12PM and 8PM, off at 10:30PM Lime: On at 11:30, 50% between 12PM and 8PM, off at 9PM White: same schedule as Lime but peaks at 15%. While the spectrum and schedule is important (keep whites turned low), it's more important to set it and leave it alone. Quote Link to comment
