Logan's 75g - It's been fun!!

Please list your parameters to include nitrate, phosphate, specific gravity, calcium, alkalinity and magnesium, and what your lighting and flow are.

If you find a photosynthetic gorg it is definitely doable. The selections are good ones.

will do give me a minute to figure out how to take a screen shot of a document I track the params in.

Lighting are two phoenix 14k 250w, two t12 super actinics. t12's run from noon-3, halides from 3-8, t12s back on from 8-10.

Flow is a koralia 1400, 750, and 650. Return pump is a mag 9.5 I can't find my bookmark with the head loss calculator right now.

Temp gets as high as 79.6 and as low as 77.9

 

Lighting and flow seem good enough.

 

If I may, these bulbs are all pretty new as well..

 

I haven't been testing as much as usual the past two weeks, I'm waiting on my BRS two part dosing and new salt to arrive this week.

The pH has been a little jumpy from 7.8 to 8.2 (the higher when I was dosing alk), but my best guess is the Tropic Marin pro reef salt I was using is designed to have a ridiculously low alk (newly mixed saltwater was something like 5 dkH I forget exactly.)

Boost the alk, stony corals need it at 7 or higher. You should strongly consider testing your PO4.

 

I've been meaning to for the past few weeks, there's one in the BRS order. I'm gonna bring the alk back up when the two-part gets here, buying bottles was getting too expensive and every WC would swing it back down.

 

Yeah it gets expensive buying the bottles. Just dose alk about an hour after your WC to compensate for the low values in the salt.

 

Aye bro, hows the tank doing? any new adds? better yet, any growth?
