TheRope Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 I just just did the heaviest feeding ive ever done. Im honestly so worried right now hahaha I cannot wait for my waterchange in like 5 hours 2 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Was curious to see what my reef looks like under white light now, since ive seen a lot of people have their picos under similar high white low blues. This is the original light. The one i started with. I personally like how it looks more under the white light. But the abi tuna blue is a proven light that works wonders so functionality over beauty 1 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 My reef jar is under higher white, 8 white and 4 blue. I am seeing very good growth and color is not bad. I am hoping to influence color with food. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 You see i like it visually but the reason i switched is because my blood red acans turned green and everything was gerting discolored... i put in the abi, though i dont like the hue of blue it really made the corals fill out and grow! Maybe my light was just shit XD 1 Quote Link to comment

All my other coral seem ok but they really aren't the type to change color. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Man algae just exploded after one feeding of reefroids they should name it pest algae roids. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Did 2 more waterchanges and everything is under controle!! Bingo. ALSOOOOOOO Sooo today will be fun. I just recieved the cascade 170, it fits in the palm of my hand. Im using this to add extra flow in the tank but i may test its claims on added colonization of beneficial aerobic bacteria. My pico has absolutely no problem sustaining itself without a filter. But i cannot seem to get the flow i want and woth the added air induction system this looks like itll do the trick!!! 2 Quote Link to comment

ReefMagix Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thats a lot of flow. I tried the smaller turtle filters they actually produce a good amount of flow and no internal motor. I changed the carbon out for biomedia. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefMagix Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 actually makes sort of a wave pattern Quote Link to comment

So far the corals are all open and loving it its been 8 hours! Temp only went up by .8 degrees so for me right now this is awesome. Also i wouldnt be able to rig that external filter you mention on my jar due to the lid. 2 Quote Link to comment

I had mine fully submerged at the bottom of the 2g jar. but had to modify with a tunze magnet to attach it. Sounds like yours is working pretty good as is though. 1 Quote Link to comment

I kind of like the option here with the air intake attached to the moveable nozel also the size is incredibly small thanks for the help though Quote Link to comment

Then i placed abi in and back to orange, then redder than when i bought them XD 1 1 Quote Link to comment

TheRope Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yeah i thought so too, but my corals are more out than ever! My duncans too and theyre never out this much! Its rough at the top which is great for my sps but it gets to a perfect flow lower down! 1 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Cluttterreeed! And look at those duncans coming around 4 Quote Link to comment
