They would be more... flat if that makes sense? not as variable but I dont believe they would decrease unless your tank was too large for just a XR15 to cover

I have 2 360Ws on a reefer 250 but was thinking of upgrading to 2 radion XR15s but only if I'd see a PAR increase lower in the tank

 

[TopShelfAquatics]

what do you keep nitrates and phosphates at

Trates: 5-10(really aim more for 10)
Phates: .025

We can pretty much tell when someone hasn't fed the tanks over the weekend

400 is really high - most can’t sustain over 350

yeah thats why it's bare right now.. had a couple that couldnt take it.. my walt Disney is up there and loves it.. growing and coloring up nicely.. i would not say its 400 all the time its pretty much the wwc radion light schedule where it has whites for like 6 hrs and then mostly all blues for 6 hrs

What testing kit's do y'all recommend for phosphates? I only have the API kit and it starts as low as .25. Tank is a softie dominated mixed reef.

 

[UABsleeper]

Work it up to that it really only gets like 300-350 right now but it'll take the light for sure.


Havent been lookin, we gave away a couple in random posts

THANKS! Yes i was planning on working it up higher over a month or more

only one i like for phosphate is the hannah ULRange phosphate checker... just so easy and accurate in the low ranges compared to most kits

We had 3 XR15s on our display in the store to get the coverage, I would say 2 XR30s or 3 ReefLED from Red sea would be optimal for an SPS only 250

but if it ain't broke don't try to fix it!

@TopShelfAquatics - whats the difference between the Mile High and Sunburst latistella ? What makes Sunburst costlier ? Much more pronounced deeper yellow tips ?

He is talking about a reefer 250 thats like 65 gallons..

i have 2 radion xr30's on my reefer 350 and have intensity peak at 45% on polyp lab settings and still get 350 par at top with diffusers

I like the the edit! Thanks for that . Im going to find a PAR meter to borrow before doing anything but I like the idea of maybe just adding some T5s. Thanks for all the responses guys

Sunburst is wayyyyyy nicer once it settles in. The colors are crazy bright with the pinks on it and it grows slower

Wow! What a $5 coral!! Someone's happy.

 

[blstravler]

Some one got lucky!

We've been known to go a little overboard sometimes....
