So how long should I keep it on the sand bed? I will be slowly increasing my dimmers on my LEDs each week until I get to about 50% output (seems to...
Awesome to hear!
I use Kent part A and B (well, I used it once) and Brightwell magnesium (only used once to get above 900 ppms). My calc and Alk have remained fairly...
Those were my thoughts too, but both sides have great points.
Great. I'll move it right now. Thanks for the advice, all.
Lights are essentially at their lowest setting right now as my entire tank adjusts. Do you think I would still need to put it on the sand bed?
Whatever you decide to do, people will still interpolate the results in their own way. Can't wait for the results.
Thanks guys. My whole tank is acclimating to new lights as I just installed an LED unit on Wednesday. It came from a halide system.
I never got green hair algae with my latest cycle. I got a light skimming of diatoms and a slight growth of cyano in a corner of my tank before they...
Does it actually turn black (i.e is it still black once the "white light" turns on) or does it just look black because the orange wavelength is no...
Anyone?
Where in the tank would it prefer?
I would not waste money on purple up. Get a seed piece (scrape), keep calc, alk and mag up. Keep phosphate down and wait. It can take time.
Some may argue that it comes easier lol.
That's great! Thanks for sharing.
I don't think that is entirely fair to say. To be honest, I don't believe ANY LED system has the spectrum down yet, but there are cheaper fixtures...
These are your best bet then: reefbreeders I just ordered one and received it in the mail yesterday. PAR values provided in image. 100% power, 24"...
You could go the DIY route and spend roughly $350 on a dimmable 48 bulb unit with Cree lights (considered top of the line) and Meanwell drivers (also...
Well there are a lot of options in a wide price range. It will be easiest to help if you had a certain price range in mind.
Are you saying you do or do not want to go the cheaper route?
