So I'm struggling to keep up my nutrients, I'm afraid. My phosphates have slowly started falling and are noe reading "0" on my ULR colorimeter. I...
Update: One of my LFS got in two deresa clams this week and both ended up dying before I made it in. We'll try again next week. My T-5 ballast...
Thanks! Unfortunately, the Reef Keeper came with a faulty PC4 an temp probe. Digital Aquatics are replacing them, however.
I love T-5 setups, but it sounds like you had a very poor ballast and reflectors. The brightness of quality halides trumps any T-5 tanks I have seen.
For a cheaper alternative, look into Jabao controllable pumps. I have 4,000 gph of flow in my 55, but it's mostly sps.
ITemp is giving error now too. Temp jumps all around from 50-100.
I don't have a PC and DA is not open right now.
One of my PC4 units gives me a solid red light. It's brand new and really frustrating.

Do you run a calcium reactor and or have a newish constructed house?
Not a problem. Do what works for you. Some like to keep an all near 11, other near 8. You will get a feal for where Your tank likes to be and when...
Might be pruning it often then.
No, there is not a magical number. Stylos, Acros, Seritpora, Montipora, Pavona, Euphyllias, etc. all thrive in thier natural state with an average...
8.2 is more than fine. Anywhere between 8-11 is a very suitable place to be. Seawater typically hangs around 8.
I agree, ATI bulbs are the way to go. 2x Blue plus, 2x coral plus combo is nice.
How long ago did u glue it? Glue typically causes parts of the base of my frags to lose tissue before growing back over it.
The higher it is, the less noise it will make. A few inches below sounds about right.
Is it losong tissue or just turning white and keeping polyps. Birdsnest coral tend to lose color underneath and at the base because it shades itself...
Are you sure you didn't touch that spot with glue?
