Hey guys , first of happy Turkey Day to every one. I been struggling with my tank to get any good color out of my sps for a while now. Its really getting to me lately. Just seems, that few weeks after I get any new frag , I starts to loose its color. Specially reds and pinks. Yes I have LED, but I refuse to give in on the thought that they suck. Plenty of tanks out there that are thriving with them and getting good to decent colors. Anyways here are my parameters
n03 . Undetec Salifert
PO4. 0.01 hanna
Calcium - 400
Alk - 8.6dkh Salifert
Mag - 1400 Salifert
Temp - 81F
Dosing- TLF Calc-12ml A day , Alk 6 lm a day, 5ml of Acropower daily. Mag 5 ml EOD. All is done by Doser, Calc and alk are dosed in half doses 2 times a day. IMO im consuming almost no ALK, even dosing 6ml and im having trouble to bring it below 8 dkh. Also started on the prodibio program about 4 weeks ago. Since my no3 was at 10 and po4 at .40. I also had GHA everywhere. However surprisingly my sticks were growing very good, but color lacked. So I decided to give Prodibio a try.
Lights
2 Ai hydras(1 26, and 1 regular). Im using Someone a fellow reefer graph is is having great success with these light at 65 reduction.
I will try to document this as often as I can. Please Advice on what can I do to improve things Thanks in advanced for the suggestion
Enjoy
