New gbta!!!!

good luck with the nem. just remember to not tough it at all for at least a month after introduction it will only stress it. if its healthy it can manage itself. the only exception is if it gets close to a pump. lol also keep water quality up and hell do great. it sure is a beautiful name and no at all bleached

 

Im doing weekly 5g water changes and skimming like crazy. So far i have had no coral deaths.

THE ONLY thing is that i have about a 4 degree throughout the day. Is that a problem? I am starting to experiement with my heater and stuff.

 

What is the max temp and the lowest number currently?

Are you running a heater and what is it set at?

 

I woke up this morning to check it, it was at 72, last night when i turned the halide off, it wast at 76.5. The heater yesterday was set at 73. I turned it up to 76 today.\



I just read on another forum that tank swings that have 5-6 temp swings or maybe a lil mores is OKAY if its slow..It takes me about 8 hours to raise that much.

 

that sounds like a pretty large daily temp swing to me. i would try to bring the low end up a bit. i think turning it up to 75 or 76 is a good idea. i try to keep mine between 77 and 78.5. The 78.5 is where my tank gets up to during the day without a heater so i just set the heater to keep it from going below 77.

 

Okay, the MH has been on for about 45 mins and its raised 1 degree, i am going to shut off the heater when it get up to 76.
