Fair enough, I have a glass lid that covers most of the top so evaporations not very bad. I’m only gone for a weekend at a time at most.the plan is sound, regular water changes shouldn’t be hard on a tank that size, personality I wouldn’t bother with an ATU unless you travel away often. I would just draw a line on the side of the tank and manually fill it in the evening or morning.
Awesome! Thank you for your helpWelcome! I love your tank!
I’ve had a 9 gal for over a year using that same boxed water and it supports SPS growth. I top off morning and night (usually), and it works fine.
how high is it above water? black boxes are notoriously powerful i always ran more blue than white. coral in the ocean doesnt get nearly as much light as they do in our tanksI’ve got a question as far as my lighting goes, currently I’m just running an old black box 155w led from a old bigger tank? Where should I roughly have my knobs set % wise? I’ve been running 30% full spec 30% blue and the Xenia seems to be happy, my gsp is slowly opening back up but I’m wondering if that’s way too much light because if I did my math right that’s 12.5w/g
30% on a black box 3" above water seems a bit high to meThere’s not very much information when it comes to a good rule of thumb for led lighting, especially not much information on lighting pico tanks. So any advice is greatly appreciated.
i think i was running 30% 18" over a nuvo 16 growing montiporas and everything else wellCurrently in the process of building a stand. But it’s currently about 3” from water surface sitting on top of the tank. The leds don’t kick in till about 19% on my knobs tho so I’m not sure how accurate they are.
Thanks I’ll probably turn them down as low as I can, should be somewhere around 15/18% I’m building my stand about 12” off the water but I do have a glass lid that’s reflecting some of the light I’m sure. Should I maybe even go in and remove say some of the red and green diodes?i think i was running 30% 18" over a nuvo 16 growing montiporas and everything else well
if youre having an algae issue maybe...Thanks I’ll probably turn them down as low as I can, should be somewhere around 15/18% I’m building my stand about 12” off the water but I do have a glass lid that’s reflecting some of the light I’m sure.
