Yes they do, call their Component Strong, plus they have Target Elements too.
But for now I just want to use up my Component1,2,3.
I am going to need some help in this next phase of this Tank Restart.
-> I have Nutrient Export covered (Algae Scrubber)
-> I have Water Changes covered.
-> I have future Dosing Covered (TBD on foods)
-> I certainly have Circulation Covered (running medium for now)
The part that I've always wondered about my tank is Lighting.
I have a switchable MH Ballast (150W,175W,250W,HQI) running two Pheonix (250W) 14000K bulbs. Plus the two Blue Plus T5's and LED (18 LED's, running low).
I was running 150W, and today moved up to 175W with coral mounting.
I slightly raised the lights to 13" to spread things out and compensate for 25W more power per bulb.
So I am totally confused if I have too much lighting in this 65 Gallon Tank, or do I have not enough.
I rented a Par Meter a while ago, and if I put my MH bulbs at 250W, with the two T5 my par readings were:
-> 460 Just below water Surface
-> 320 at top of Rocks
-> 120 at Bottom of tank
I didn't have the Power LED, so I have to be careful with it.
I bleached all my corals overnight with that LED in QT.
WHAT DO I LOOK FOR IN "SPS" to see if they are getting ENOUGH light?
-> White Tips?
-> Browning or Color Fading (not enough light), beside nutrients.
