That would be greatly appreciated.

New Pictures?

Very nice photos and beautiful tank Junio! Thanks for sharing!! Clearly you have invested in AI Hydra lighting for a well stocked sps /mixed tank: curious how you went about deciding on hydra settings... was it Advice of others, your eye and livestock observation, par meter? What were your livestock observations at various settings you may have tried? -Greg

Hi gdemos.
I started reading some articles about aquarium illumination and went on a try . PAR was not a reliable guidance as some SPS started bleaching after a high PAR with intense white Light. After a lot of tries and errors (bleaching and coral loss events) I came to a setting with good colors and growth.
What I realized was coral bleaching with intense white or Red light, but SPS colorless if too low on white. UV also helps coloring corals.

Thanks Junio. Good info. (PS: I also run the 6000sss and biopellet on my 250g system) happy reefing! -Greg

Thank you Junio

Very very nice tank, the colonies have some insane size to them.

Possibly the best LED SPS tank I have seen.

For whatever reason it says the version of these settings is incompatible and cannot be uploaded.

You mind posting your actual settings?
Sorry to be a pain in the ***.

Hi
as high are lights above water?

crawlerman · 02/16/2017, 08:43 AM

Beautiful reef and great pictures. Do you mind sharing what you are using for flow and the placement.

codydemmel4 · 02/17/2017, 09:31 AM

is everything still the same with your husbandry/dosing?

Everything looks great and I am interested in possibly dosing some flatworm stop as I have seen multiple people talk about it now, not because they have AEFW but because it supports strong tissue on the coral, I think?

2 vortechs MP40QD opposite to each other.
Apex programing changes flow mode changes during the day.

Same routine.
I have experienced less STN, RTN and better pollyp extension with flatworm stop. I use it every other day.
