HM3105 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Well my LEDs are all wired up and ready for mounting. 60 RB to, I haven't decided on optics yet. I used sleeving on this build and it's awesome. Really like how it turned out. FTS. Algae scraper is on its way. Zoa version of hunger games. Side shot. 7 Quote Link to comment
HM3105 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Busy day today! Also, the tank hit 0 nitrate and Phos, so all the corals are looking pale. Could also be bleaching from the 60 RB LEDs I just added. Without skin With skin Sump area, still in process Electrical area, still in process Some random tank shots FTS, front FTS, side 9 Quote Link to comment

It wasn't an issue until just recently. I think putting on the LED's is keeping the heat trapped with nowhere to go. Also, I think I bleached everything somehow magically after almost a month......

teenyreef Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Wow, why the increase in alk? Any signs of problems due to the low nutrients? Everything looked great in the pictures recently. Quote Link to comment

Everything looked great in the pictures recently. Good question, I'm not dosing a lot but I suspect because of the low nutrients calcification is pretty low. And yes, i've got slow growth and several acros are very pale. They continue to grow slowly despite being pale though. Considering I've got 6 Anthias, a Yellow Tang, Lawnmower blenny, Sixline and 2 clowns AND i feed twice a day nitrate dosing is starting to look like a better option. Quote Link to comment

I had low nutrients in my 30g frag tank, with similar issues - lots of fish, feeding twice a day. I did some nitrate dosing for a couple weeks until it was up to about 1 consistently. Then I stopped dosing and it's stayed at 1 ever since. Quote Link to comment
