I actually set it up on Sunday! You can see the pictures from that day. It's been great so far, I have it on a 12hr 41% schedule for now (new light and corals). I replaced the lens when I got it (slightly used) as it had a tiny melt and cleaned it.When's the AI getting set up? I love mine.

I do like it, it has been easy to use and understand so far. Plus, there are a lot of forums and schedules available for it. And it's much better than my stock light!I saw you cleaned it didn't know you put it on! Sweet. Do you like it and the App?
I can't remember who's schedule I run. I've modified it. Essentially it's all blues no white and doesn't go above like 66-70% at the max. Most of the times I think its in the 50s. I like it. I used to use saxonby???? But I think I like this one more.I do like it, it has been easy to use and understand so far. Plus, there are a lot of forums and schedules available for it.

Yeah, I will most likely run at 51-61% later on. I currently have a Pennywise Daylight Pop 12hr schedule.I can't remember who's schedule I run. I've modified it.

I'm not in any if those groups. I don't do Facebook but I really should look and see if I like something else more sometime soon. I'm currently trying to reduce my light. I think its too strong for some things I have.Yeah, I will most likely run at 51-61% later on. I currently have a Pennywise Daylight Pop 12hr schedule.
That's good, I might consider it. I currently have a package with a mix of pods coming in later today (Thursday), so I will start with those.I forgot to feed phyto this evening and reef roids for the gorgonians and just went to do it and a mature reef tank at night is scary. I have too many bristle worms. You should eventually look into phyto dosing once you have more corals but I also find it helps reduce algae in my tanks as well. It seems to outcompete other things in my tank.
If you have pods you should feed them with phyto whenever you want to boost their numbers. Also put the pods in after you turn your lights off so the fish don't try to eat them. It gives them a better chance to get into your rocks. There's a guy on here who sends me phyto every month. He has a small business. If you research it and decide to do it let me know I'll send u to him.That's good, I might consider it.

Honestly, I don't like bristle worms to be honest lol, but they are good CUC.
Dang that's a LOT! Lol, how big is your tank? And how'd you get so many lol, I don't think my tank has them.If you have pods you should feed them with phyto whenever you want to boost their numbers.

And if you don't like bristles you wouldn't like my tank it has 1000s. I might make a trap just to try to take a couple hundred out.
Tank is only a 30g. I tore it down this summer when I bought a new house and remodeled the thing myself. I had to live in the remodel and moved everything In to tubs and knew that most coral wouldn't make it. So gave some away kept mainly mushrooms. I put it back up in October but I guess the bristle worms multiplied like crazy in the rocks in the tubs while I was remodeling bc when I set everything back up now I have way too ooooooo many. I dont mind them but I could probably lose like 500 and be better.Dang that's a LOT! Lol, how big is your tank? And how'd you get so many lol, I don't think my tank has them.
And that's what I read, turn off the lights so they can settle. I will definitely reach out about the phyto when I'm there! Thanks for letting me know about it
30g is a nice size in my opinion! That's crazy to hear how they multiplied so much.Tank is only a 30g. I tore it down this summer when I bought a new house and remodeled the thing myself.

I almost bought your tank 4yrs ago but realized I coukd DIY a tank for the same price or less and it would be 30g. So double the size. So I did that. I think if I start up a 2nd tank it will be an Evo.30g is a nice size in my opinion! That's crazy to hear how they multiplied so much.
The evo is definitely a nice tank! I'm enjoying it so far.I almost bought your tank 4yrs ago but realized I coukd DIY a tank for the same price or less and it would be 30g. So double the size. So I did that. I think if I start up a 2nd tank it will be an Evo.
Awesome, thank you! I always love looking at other 13.5s and similar tanks! I will reach out if anythingNice build.
My thread for the same type of tank is here:
Nano Build - Yet another Fluval Evo 13.5
Hi all, Just finished cycling a Fluval Evo 13.5. Intended to be a reef nano, but it’s early days. Basic setup: Chamber 1 - Aqueon 50w heater, mini Skimmer Chamber 2 - ATO return, stock filter sponge with carbon and bio max. Added 2 more bags of bio max in the bottom of chamber 2. Chamber 3 -...www.reef2reef.com
Let me know if you need anything.
Glad to hear that you fixed that nitrate problem, and that everything is going well! I hope your clown is doing better!Day 28 & 29 Update
Here's a little update for you guys. Yesterday I was doing some small maintenance, like replacing my filter floss. My Hanna test kit came in as well so I tested my nitrate and phosphates. They came back crazy high, my nitrates were reading 70.3ppm. I was a little concerned with that number (confirmed with two HR tests) so I conducted an approximate 50-60% water change and added an extra carbon bag: Chemi-pure blue nano. At the end of all this, I added in the Copepod Buffet (8oz bottle - Reef by Steele) I purchased with lights out.
The next day (today), I went ahead and re-tested my nitrates after about 12+ hours and read 9.7ppm today. Thankfully my water change did its work. I will try and keep nitrates between 5-10ppm. I skipped feeding today and will be feeding a little less to avoid spiking my nitrates for now. I also cleaned some of the inside glass as there was some green hair algae growing in there (there is some on my sand and rocks too). While I was cleaning the glass, I could see a TON of copepods on my glass, which is a good sign!
Otherwise, the only other thing I did today was adding some medium-large hermit and snail shells for my two hermit crabs. I scattered them around the tank in the sand, I put 6-8 shells in for the hermits to move into when they grow.
Also! My Xenia seems to be doing well, it's grown out a little big and has started to move onto the island just a bit.
