Your photoperiod?
What type of turnover and internal current and type do you have?
Are you running a fug?
How are you maintaining such healthy looking polyps?
Do you test your parameters, if so, which test kits are you most pleased with?
Do you have any daylight pics as well?
Hey thanks again for sharing and answering these questions as I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated by someone wanting to duplicate the success you are having.
Thx again, Mucho Reef |
Yeh, no worries,
Lets see here
As far as my parameters go,
SG-1.025
Nitrate-5 ppm or less
Calcium-about 410 at the moment
Alk-8 dkh
Mag-1350
Phosphates- 0
PH- 7.8-8.2
I use 2x 400w 20k Radiums. The radiums are on for 6 hours a day. 10-4pm
Also, I use a 48" 3w reef bright LED strip for my actinics which is on from 8-7
Current- 2x vortech mp40es and a Dart for my return
Before the switch I had a 30 gallon fuge that I loved! but after the transfer got rid of it and I'm regreting it now. Iplan a deffinatly gettin one again in the futurei.
What I've learned in keeping zoanthids and paly is the faster you try and make them grown the longer it seems to take. If you are patient and leave them be with stable parameters they grow like weeds. Some people say some grow faster than others but I see the same rate all around. could just be me though.
I use lamote test kits. They a little complicated but worth it for there acuracy.
The macro shots are daylight shots. Heres some others. I don't like actinic shots cause I cant take them to save my life lol
Cheers,
My wierd polyp in poylp purple death
