sangheili Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 That growth is pretty awesome, I know you're using Triton are you by chance using any type of other addins such as amino's or acropower? Lots of fish food. Just recently started dosing Acropower on this tank and to be honest, the only thing im noticing 1month in is cyano on the sandbed. I dose a lot of Acropower on my farm tank but it gets less fish food then this tank usually. What light are you running? ATI Powermodule Hybrid 3x75w LED + 4x54w T5 Quote Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Do you feel like the LEDs are noticeable? Quote Link to comment
sangheili Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Do you feel like the LEDs are noticeable? For sure. Recently I changed the bulbs and i've been having the T5's do on/off not dimming to break them in. This results in times where its LED only at like 20-50% intensity and the tank literally glows during these dawn/dusk LED only times. Heck each 75w LED group is very similar to a Radion XR15w. 2x Luxeon M Royal Blue - 450nm (these are the larger multichip leds in the pic below) 2x Luxeon M Cool White - Full spectrum (these are the larger multichip leds in the pic below) 6x Cree XPE Blue - 465-470nm 1x Semileds Violet - 420nm 2x Cree XPE Red - 620 nm Cell phone shot of my ricordia: 1 Quote Link to comment

gus6464 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Also let's not forget the Powermodule uses a reflector based LED system unlike the garbage optic based found on Radions and others. 1 Quote Link to comment

sangheili Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 What did you get me? My mrs is sleeping on the couch, I'm watching racing extinction. I got you a ton of coral, its all on our website. We just charge a little handling fee for each one, and shipping fees. 1 Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Oh send me some cool shit. I don't need to check your website. But you'll need to accept a 3rd party, out of state, post dated check. Lol... or wait until my reef budget resets. 1 Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I love supporting our NR supporters, but I also like my LFS. Once free freight is within acceptable price range. And I get over my fear of buying online. I'll definatly search your site and be messaging you. 1 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Gorgeous. The red planet looks very odd (In a good way) with geeen going all the way up the branches! Mine just has green on the encrusting area. 1 Quote Link to comment
sangheili Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 I am so jealous of this system... Thanks so much Honestly the best part is just how easy the entire system is to run, the totality of my maintenance looks like this: A couple times a week: Clean Glass Feed frozen Test Alk Every 30-60 days: Send triton test Refill triton containers Refill GFO Empty Skimmer container Prune some macro out Every 6months or so: Clean skimmer Clean Gyres Every 12months or so: Change T5 bulbs Change doser pump heads Gorgeous. The red planet looks very odd (In a good way) with geeen going all the way up the branches! Mine just has green on the encrusting area. Coloration on that seems very dependent on light. Ive seen them be on the spectrum from super bleached red, to dark red, to mixed, to almost all green. Mine is probably in about 200PAR. Personally I think the color on mine is perfect as I don't like the super red ones, the two tone is very cool. Lucky placement I suppose haha. Also, for those interested in the tank's Apex vital signs... check here: http://www.reeftronics.net/sa/sangheili/apex-history Keep in mind ORP probes are nearly impossible to accurately calibrate The one on this tank reads low by a couple PPT. I think the pH probe probably needs to be recalibrated too. Quote Link to comment

Spiderguardnano Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 What do you think is the most important parameter to keep stabilized And improve growth Quote Link to comment
sangheili Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 What do you think is the most important parameter to keep stabilized And improve growth If I had to guess... alkalinity. It is certainly the one that is most difficult, as compared to calc/mag/potassium/etc it is the least abundant in seawater. 1 Quote Link to comment
