mpekoske Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Added a IceCap 1K Gyre and so far sps are loving it! (Not the best pic sorry) Quote Link to comment
Jackal227 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 What % are you running the gyre at? Also what kind of sand do you have on the bottom? Quote Link to comment
mpekoske Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I’m running it on auto setting so from 6:30 am - 9:30 pm I’m running random max set at 50% then from 9:30pm-6:30 am running alternating gyre max 20% with 2 second on each setting... sorry I can’t remember my substrate but it’s not super fine but also not the size of crushed coral... when I put it in it did move a little sand which you can see in the picture (front middle has a little more sand now) but it settled down and now none moves... I removed my sw-2 and sw-4 and getting much better movement with the gyre and my mj 1200 return... so far everything seems to really like it including my hammer... I’ll update if anything reacts negatively ... lastly I tried it in a couple of different positions and found the side works best for my tank Quote Link to comment
mpekoske Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Update: came how to a sand storm so had to adjust the gyre... now running it one side max 30% alternating gyre with 4 sec intervals which seems to keep everything happy and now sand moving... been a week now and have better PE on a bunch of sps. Also running sw-4 on lowest speed pulse setting on other side of tank Quote Link to comment
mpekoske Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Last addition for a while... hoping to set up a grow out system in the future for more frags 1 Quote Link to comment
