Deleted User 4 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think your schedule is fine. But that's too bad you're adding zoas later on... Jk Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Corals? I was starting to think you just liked yer tank as is and forgot all about corals............ Seriously, It's cool you're diong this whole thing just right.......it's gonna be just awsome soon! Link to comment
TristanC Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 For now it will be. The Zoa's I was going to get sold out. All part of my reef curse for last month. That's where their products shine most likely. What I'll do is cease dosing for the time being, then add the corals, and probably monitor for a while, then experiment with Zeo again. That way i should have a better understanding to share of the effect on the corals. I am actually leaning towards the Fauna Marin products a bit more though. It's not the same level of control as you can have with Zeo, but i have seen some great tanks in Germany that use those products exclusively, and WOW! You think so? See, this is where i was concerned. You suggest I lower it a bit? How are your corals doing Tristan? What percentage you using? This is my schedule: MaxSpect Razor Program 7:00am 0% 1% 10:00am 10% 10% 1:00pm 20% 20% 4:00pm 10% 20% 7:00pm 0% 10% 10:00pm 0% 0% So far everything is doing great, I bumped it up 5% from where I had it with the Ai and ill probably go up more in time. 8:30 0-0 10:00 5-45 12:00 45-45 16:00 45-45 20:00 4-45 23:00 0-0 Only difference is obviously I only have one cluster as opposed to your two, but my light is 9" above water level. I'm going to change the 5-45's to 5-25 though. Link to comment
BadCrab Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 RE: Lighting This weak I turned my AI lighting down much lower (attempt to control algae and help the three shyer Rics open up) and I might keep it like this. 4:00 Ramp time linked to Florida Keys with 15w/25b/25rb max. Seems plenty bright to my eyes, and the Rics are responding well so far. (Obviously, I'm not housing SPS though) Link to comment
Hexadron Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think your schedule is fine. But that's too bad you're adding zoas later on... Jk Well i'm not 'against' adding anything. We'll just have to see... The problem is (if you want to call it that) is i'm so picky, I won't stick just anything in there. I was surprised to find 11 corals I actually liked though! The luck is returning! Corals? I was starting to think you just liked yer tank as is and forgot all about corals............ Seriously, It's cool you're diong this whole thing just right.......it's gonna be just awsome soon! Haha, no that got old quick. I'm trying to do it as right as I can! Thanks So far everything is doing great, I bumped it up 5% from where I had it with the Ai and ill probably go up more in time. 8:30 0-0 10:00 5-45 12:00 45-45 16:00 45-45 20:00 4-45 23:00 0-0 Only difference is obviously I only have one cluster as opposed to your two, but my light is 9" above water level. I'm going to change the 5-45's to 5-25 though. Well this gets me thinking 20% should be alright. I guess the only way to know for sure it to wait and see RE: Lighting This weak I turned my AI lighting down much lower (attempt to control algae and help the three shyer Rics open up) and I might keep it like this. 4:00 Ramp time linked to Florida Keys with 15w/25b/25rb max. Seems plenty bright to my eyes, and the Rics are responding well so far. (Obviously, I'm not housing SPS though) Thanks for the input and your experiences. I think for now i'll keep the program as-is. The thing i'm a little more concerned with is the height of the Par38 bulb, as it isn't dimmable, so I was thinking 12"? Anyone have experience with those? Remember this is for the 5.5g Coral QT Link to comment

NanoTopia Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Congrates on the coral order Jordon, looking forward to seeing them in the tank. I would not put the above mentioned fish in a tank under 20 gallons personally, maybe a small goby? Christine Link to comment

My only worry is feeding, not sure what they would go after with such tiny mouths. Link to comment
