![]() Hahaha this thread made my night. Thanks for the kind words man. I agree with Ryan though that water conditions may have some effect on coral colouration. As he said I am currently trying Considering going with halides on my new tank because I cannot seem to set the growth and color Ryan gets!

![]() Oh for crap sakes...Now I have to envy two tanks??!!
I am not sure how or what I can do to make my water better. I bought a magnum 350 and got my hands on some actual DE to make a diatom filter, but have not set it up yet... My parameter are.. avg 76 degrees Dose alk, ca and mag and use schlobster bulk I use API and Salifert test kits. CA is around 450 Alk is usually around 12, but went down to 9 over a few weeks, before I realized doser was jammed Mag is 1350 Salinity is 1.025 PH was always around 8.1, but started ozone for 8 hrs a day thru skimmer and it has been avg 7.9 for a month Ammonia is 0 or just slightly higher, Phospates are 0 or slightly higher .015 Nitrate is 0 I use IO reef crystals Run 2 to 3 cups of GFO Skimmer outlet dumps into 5 or 6 cups of carbon Skimmer is a BK 250 supermarin. I have a 40 watt UV that goes on at night for 4 hours as well. I have a mixed reef of SPS, zoas, softies, mushrooms and 10 fish in a 290 gal with a 125 sump Last edited by reefwithareefer; 06-26-2015 at 12:01 AM. |

![]() Alk is high, temp is low. You'll really slow SPS growth at 76.
P.S. It's not the lights ![]()
