dferrari13 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 My maxima clam seems to have a hole in it....from what I've read...it doesn't seem like something to cause alarm...but what do you guys think.. Quote Link to comment
dferrari13 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 So I have changed things around once again, I have removed the toadstool, monti, stylophora and birdsnest....the sps wasn't doing well and I'm thinking the toadstool toxin was the culprit Also added an elegance, frogspawn, and a couple of zoas 1 Quote Link to comment
Bowen1022 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Looking good. Sorry to hear about the sps pieces though 1 Quote Link to comment

dferrari13 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Any chance anybody out there knows why my blue sympodium is halfway bleached like that?? Quote Link to comment
dferrari13 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 The Coral in question is at the lower right portion of the tank and I was thinking about raising it up because it seems like all my corals at the top are doing a lot better... I'm not sure how the this coral got bleached when it is on the sandbed I'm thinking the bleaching is due to lack of light maybe? Any thoughts?? Quote Link to comment
jackmccann Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm thinking too much light, mines always done best in medium/low light not a ton of flow. Quote Link to comment
dferrari13 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm thinking too much light, mines always done best in medium/low light not a ton of flow. But its already at the bottom...it gets a lot less light penetration than all corals at the top and they are doing great...doesn't really make sense Quote Link to comment

Dramad1 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Top downs look very cool. Nice colorations 1 Quote Link to comment
dferrari13 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 90% intensity? I can't go beyond about 25% without some bleaching of my SPS. My light stays on for only about 8 hours too. Hey reefernanoman...are you still running the kessil at about 25% for only 8 hrs Quote Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hey reefernanoman...are you still running the kessil at about 25% for only 8 hrs Yup. Getting lots of growth out of all my corals (SPS included). I'm cheating with full Apex control of my light now. Quote Link to comment
dferrari13 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yup. Getting lots of growth out of all my corals (SPS included). I'm cheating with full Apex control of my light now. Thanks...but what do you mean by cheating with the apex? I use the kessil spectral controller...doesn't that basically do the same thing?... what's your apex schedule? Quote Link to comment

reefernanoman Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks...but what do you mean by cheating with the apex? I use the kessil spectral controller...doesn't that basically do the same thing?... what's your apex schedule? Meaning that it's easier to control now. Before I was just using a timer, which I'm glad I'm not anymore! Schedule: Color :time on 08am-4pm(with dawn effect of 180 minutes), then 4-6pm dusk effect (also 180 minutes), with color from 0-40% then back 40%-0%. Intensity :goes from 10-25% for 120 minutes, 8am-4pm, then from 4pm-6pm ramp down from 25%-10%.
