DaveFason Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 A small macro crab would be killer in the Red Planet man! Keep it up. 1 Quote Link to comment
HiImSean Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 How high are you running your ATI fixture above your tank? I just got a 4x24 delivered for my Fusion 30L and can't wait to get it hung. Quote Link to comment

How high are you running your ATI fixture above your tank? I just got a 4x24 delivered for my Fusion 30L and can't wait to get it hung. I want to say around 9" above the waterline.... Keep in mind I've also got a ReefBrite blue LED attached to the front and I'm waiting on a 2nd which arrives thursday so it may need to go up to 10" because the tank is so narrow. 1 Quote Link to comment
HiImSean Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'll probably add some reefbrites before too long to my fixture aswell Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'll probably add some reefbrites before too long to my fixture aswellWe'll the biggest adjustment I noticed in going T5 after having LEDs was not having that big blue pop... And you notice if you have zoas. Consider the light as being soft and round apposed to LEDs which are direct and penetrate the water. FYI: if u can swing it... Premium aquatics has them at 15% off right now! You'll kick yourself later if you're late! Quote Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I just replaced the bulbs about two weeks ago and the colors are popping again. they really dulled out as the life on the bulbs died off... 12 months seems to be the limit... I guess i finally got what i wished for! (years ago wondering why it wouldn't grow!) 1 Quote Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Against one of the core rules of dosing, Ive been adding/alternating dashes of strontium and potassium every morning... seems to be doing wonders for the coral colors. theyre popping slightly more... especially the pinks and greens on the RP... 1 Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Nothing wrong with it if colors are getting better. How long have you been dosing it ? Quote Link to comment
