sir winston mulligan Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 i dont use actinics, and i have a 14k halide...*very important* make sure you acclimate your tank to the halide Link to comment
reefin300 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Thanks for the tip! Do you think this will be a good start... 2 hours a day and increase every day by 1 hour? Or do you think I should take it slow? Also what happens when you purchase livestock from a LFS that was not kept under halides? Should you place these at the bottom of the tank or should I decrease my photo period when introducing new live stock? Link to comment
FishFreak Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I am acclimatign my light liek that. I would like to know the 2nd question Link to comment
Pili Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I just put corals that were not in the halides into a shady area and then over a period of a few weeks, slowly move them into more direct lighting. Link to comment
sir winston mulligan Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 NEVER SATISFIED REFFER: those are pretty sweet i might have some of those last ones you have(they are still tiny so i can tell).. i put all new corals on the sand bed..if its some thing thats really needs long acclimation, id get some window screening and put maybe 6-8 layers on top of the tank so that it shades just the coral im acclimating..then remove a layer every 2 days..thats how i acclimated 12g cube to the halide, except i just covered the entire top of the tank...

Babycakes Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 lol. i took this just for this thread my zoo garden under actinics white balance, -1/3 exposure no color enhancing this is what the camera took and this is what they really look like under actinics these are most of my zoos, there are some in here that are being blocked and you can't see them clearly or something crawled on it and it closed. enjoy Link to comment

About 12 minutes after the lights where on... In the pic you can see a big stomanela (spelled something like) and a bleached out ric that is actually starting to get a little color back...

NewbieReefer Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 yea, City has some sweet 5$ frags. Just gotta make sure you dont get any flatworms.
