The stainless is grounding the LEDs out. The turn off when I screw them down.
I know why. The steel screws I am using to mount the star plates are making contact with the current and grounding the LEDs out. Will aluminum...
Will aluminum screws used to anchor the starboards down ground out the circuit like the stainless steel ones are?
Sounds like it's doing what you want it to do, no? It's keeping the nutrients tied up in itself and out of your system. Pulling handfuls out removes...
I'd say that the ridiculous shimmer also takes away from the color a bit.
I always place my coral in the tank immediately. I've only had one RTN on me. I just always felt that it was necessary to get it out of the bag and...
It's close, but it's a tad bit pinker/purple in person. I could dim the colors, but the new whites I put in as a replacement for the two violets were...
Looks better turned up to 70-75%. Looks like my halide did. Decided to run it at this percentage for 3 hrs to adjust rather than dimming. I'll...
Replaced two violets with 2 cool blue and it still seems so purple. If I crank it up to about 50% it looks good. Below that it seems dark and purple,...
Both companies produce products far outside of my spending desires. I can't justify paying the money they value their products at. I doubt this...
I would buy backing soda and calcium chloride. You can calculate exactly how many ppms you'll raise your tank buy and you can make your own...
That may be what it needs. Seems a bit purple and dark, granted I have it at the lowest possible level too.
Well I found some cool white Cree Diodes here locally. What kind of effect do you think those would make, if I went with them?
Those 3 units over your 125 gallon should be capable of growing anything you want.
ShouldcI swap those out for cool white?
Looks like a common Chinese LED unit that a bunch of reef keepers use.
You think the reds are washing things out and giving it that purplish look?
Cranked all the way up, the tank color looks fine, but all the way down/dimmed gives a pinkish/purplish/bluish look. The reds wash out. It's not...
So u think warm white will help whiten it up better than neutral or cool? I have 4 neutral now.
Bad news. You can see algae on the white part, signaling the loss of tissue.
