Not yet. I will do some tests tomorrow.Have you taken any PAR readings on the new lights?
More like a tired and irritable marine biologist..I love how the packaging is all just thrown aside like a kid opening Christmas presents!
That is a very beautiful problem to have!This part looked nice today! I keep removing corals from this tank but they've been growing so densely it still looks full

I'm thinking this might be the first tank to be emptied. We need the lights and other parts for the temporary tanks
But it'll probably take some time..
Thank you!That is a very beautiful problem to have!
Congratulations on the temporary tanks.
Well that’s pretty conclusiveAnd world - we have a result
First tank - fixture cross the tank - left lowest corner of the tank corespond to 0 - 0 in chart
The PAR graph PAR taken on the bottom 500 mm depth. Y-axel shows PAR
Seconf tank - fixtures along the tank - left lowest corner of the tank corespond to 0 - 0 in chart
Corresponding chart PAR taken on the bottom 500 mm depth. Y-axel shows PAR
Discussion ended - @Sallstrom will redo the mount of fixtures in tank 1 tomorrow

We finally got the temperature up above 23 degrees today in the new system, so today we moved in some rocks from other tanks.
And a couple of test pilots

75% of the water is from our bamboo shark reef, so it's not a totally fresh start. And I threw in a bag with siporax from another tank a couple of days ago.
Today's numbers:
NO3: 2,5ppm
PO4: 0 (Hanna Low range)
KH: 7,7 dKH
Salinity: 35,3ppt
Temp; 23,3 (and raising!)
In other cases I might have worried about the low phosphate, but some of the rocks we put in today are from a high nutrient system(they've been in this high nutrients tank since 2005 ). So I hope they will add some PO4.
We don't follow any strict methods starting up new tanks. We usually add old water and rocks and then add some animals at the time. If I can catch a suitable fish tomorrow, I'll add it to the new system.
It will be some algae along the way, but hopefully we have enough algae eaters to take care of them.
I think I will install a small skimmer next week
