Normally yes, take pics of the xenia and post please, I think they may be aiptasia. If they are Xenia they will not survive without light and most...
That looks like a pretty good guess to me
Awesome agreed, looks like a fun job cleaning too. What are the dimensions?
You are just about right on the max. 1 meq/l per day is the recommended max and that equals 2.8 dKH.
a 4 bulb 36" unit will be more than sufficient. If you do go 6 bulbs don't go over 10 hours with the blue bulbs and 8 hours with the whites. You...
Very interesting setup, good job on hiding the equipment.
What you want is steady parameters within the recommended range for keeping a salt water reef tank. Dosing pumps are not necessary but a great help,...
I take it you turned the lights on while cycling so lots of algae is normal.

From what I have read 2X54W is enough to grow just about all plants and not be too hard on supplements. I have 4X54W on my tank and I think I need...

A wild guess will be 3 to 4 bulbs, most likely 4.
I think you are doing the right thing. Try feeding as lightly as possible to starve them out.
Beautiful shots, corals and tank, congrats
Yes, just get ATI, Geisemann, UVL or KZ bulbs for replacements. ATI and UVL are a couple bucks cheaper per bulb but the quality is comparable among...
No heat issues from them if they are not in a canopy, and even if they are 6 bulbs only raised my 75 gallon reef 1 degree. The one blue is because...
Looking forward to see how you do, enjoy the experiment
Thanks Ducksmasher I forgot to mention mixing it in RODI water.
You would want to go to Reefgeek.com and get a Tek or ATI unit, but they are not cheap.
