SPS Question...

So After my massive attack of RTN in my small tank, Ive decided to try a Monti of some sort in my large tank... I wanna know if theres anything I need to tweek this weekend when I go to fosters... adding new stuff etc...

Anyways,

Lighting - Nova Extreme 48" T5HO fixture, 8 bulbs, 54w each, 4 daylights, 4 actinics.

Flow/Filtration.

190lbs of LR

2 x Hydor K4's (2800GPH)
1 x Hydor K3 (850GPH)
HOB Filtration = (700GPH)
Skimmer ( Inbetween 650-750 according to the box so lets say 700GPH)

(tanks a 120g and set up 11 Months almost.)

I was thinking of adding one more Hydor Powerhead... Was thinking a Magnum 6 (2200GPH)

Just looking for input! Thanks for the help and +K

 

what are your water params like? also maybe a controller, sure has made my life easier

 

Ammonia- 0ppm
Nitrate - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Ca- around the 420-450 ppm range
Phosphates - 0ppm
Magnesium - Trying to get a test kit for that but I fail at that every time I go anywhere sold out...
kh - 10-11 usually.
PH - 8.2
Temp in between 78-79

 

yup only thing i can think that u could add is a controller

 

I was thinking a couple reactors too... hmmm

 

Looks good to me. Should have plenty of flow for a Monti.

 

It all looks fine to me. You have enough flow for any coral as is. Your lighting most likely is. If you are worried about the lighting change the actinics to ATI Blue Plus.

 

Thanks everyone! ... I dont know why but I have it stuck in my head I need another powerhead

 

You have between 30 and 50 times the display's volume of flow.

 

Roughly 39x... Id like to be in the 50 range... I think..
