SBB - Pre Black Friday- 900 WYSWYG Corals!

[SinkyShippy]

What size tank again? General rule is whites at 25% of blues. I run 80% on blue, light blue, violet and 20% on whites with red and green at 5%. If that is too high for a LPS dominant tank, then just scale down from there. 60% on blues, 15% on white. I run a 12 hour period with 2 hour ramp on both sides and 8 hour peak.

It’s a 75. 2 Noo-Psyches

So RODI people, I ordered a 7 stage from BRS and got it. I don't see the threads on my faucets to connect it, so am I stuck with hose fittings?

 

[Kasrift]

Which lights are you running?

Two noops k7 pro v3

This is my schedule. Run it lower with more LPs or acclimate up to this. This is on my 32 gallon, so sandbed is 150 par.

Look at your faucet and see if you can unscrew the end of it where the water comes out

So you run purple, blue and UV the same. Whites and green the same. And then red the lowest.

Is that your email ...or online. Mine was shipped email. Online still shows order. Very promising

That's the email

Yup. You can run green lower. I don't know, I don't think it is a spectrum that specifically grows algae like red, so I run it higher. Spectrum plays a huge portion in growth and coloration of corals. @billyocean has dialed in his tank to produce lots of reds. I get lots of aqua and purples I feel. There are other variables, like trace elements and literally everything else, but spectrum is huge.

When DI is exhausted, it’s too late. Already had who knows what get in your water.

Oh i know Trihalomethanes. Just look up wilmington ma contaminated well. And epa

 

[robanister]

Double DI and as soon as the first cannister shows 1-tds then replace them both.

Maybe I'll add another

On this note, I really think it's fun to see what people are pulling out of their corals. @Rennurdoar green bean acros have awesome colors.

No you can buy a stop shut off water and replace with duel stop under sink. Plastic bushing with metal inner tighten to compress but not to much . Plumb drain line and bobs your uncle

That is a must have, I think. And it is so easy to add a 2nd DI. If you're looking to save money instead of replacing both canisters once the first reads 1-tds, you can move the 2nd canister to the 1st spot and put new DI in the 2nd. And repeat that process every time the first canister reads 1 tds.

I run 0 white and low red and green. Just fyi just sad because the green bean has went to coral heaven. Will have to get another one soon hopefully. It sure was colorful

Dang, that sucks. Sorry to hear you lost that one... I don't remember seeing any available in the sale after the sale where you bought that. Is Carnage looking good still?

We see the yellow in the base of the polyps more often, that orange in the base is special.

What happened?

@steveschuerger .

 

[Rennurdoar]

What happened?

I noticed it was loose one day at the base. Like the glue had separated from the epoxy. I figure stuff got in below and it got infected or something from the inside. I had popped it off and reglued it, but it didn't work. Was about a week and a half when after when it started stn. It's still in the tank, but not doing well. Not sure if I frag a branch if it'll work, but may try.
