Looking good i really like the orange! Its guna look great! Have funSo I decided to try removing the front left rock and tbh I am so happy I did. Opened up the space a lot more and still plenty of room for coral on the rock! Lmk what ya'll think!
I like the new aquascape design!Ammonium : .5
Nitrite : 5.0
Finally got my @Kraken Reef Lid. This thing is top notch quality and I am very happy with it. Also rearranged the rockscape once more. I slowly realized that less is gonna be more in this tank and I think the shape and size here is gonna be perfect.
So for rn I have no lights on, just turn them on for pics. As far as the schedule I plan to use to start I’m gonna use WWC AI Prime settings for the pico tank. Just gonna start with that and see how everything likes it.
I would also base it on where you get your corals from. I used preset from another reefer that had thriving SPS in his desktop..... but it fried my corals. I later found out that the supplier I normally get it from keep their light intensity really low.
I’ll post a screenshot of the settings in here. I don’t plan on having any sps so the intensities are pretty low to my understand but I do expect to have to adjust them a bit at some point. With the weekly water changes I probably could handle sps without dosing but I much prefer lps and softies. Maybe when I get a bigger tank a few years down the line I’ll dip into sps.
I mean say I had one or two acro. Wouldn’t the light they require fry any soft or lps coral I get in a tank this small?
I assume that’s what the acclimation setting for my AI Prime is. So say I add a hammer after light acclimation for stuff already in the tank is done. Would I run the acclimation setting again? I believe it last 30 days and my assumption is it slowly increases the light level to the desired setting
I know I want a Pom Pom crab and nassarius snail but after that I’m not sure what would go good. If I don’t have much algae I doubt I could get many to start.
Nah it isn't scuffed its just the condensation. Came in completely clear. Is there any way you could share your preset with me? I see the saxby one but with differing nubers for maximum ie royal blue is at 99% on hisFWIW, your acrylic top looks a bit scuffed? Or is that condensation. That will lower PAR by quite a bit. I run saxby schedule with a max of 65% (UV, V) 50% (RY, B) 15% (CW)..... Just mesh top. no diffuser.
once your light is acclimated....when adding coral.... put them on the sand bed in a corner where PAR is minimal....then slowly move them to up to where you think lights is sufficient. I just got the hulk digi in the lower left and will move it up the other digi over a few weeks.
