Even better, it's Kessil H380.
I see that’s cool! I run a few of the H80’s (on the uv/pink spectrum) on my clients Refugiums growing red dragons breath and cheato. In 20 years I’ve never seen it grow so thick/compact even the color of is totally different. If Kessil did one thing right it’s this lol. The tank pictures 180 gallons room divider I installed there’s a large powder blue, yellow, kole, purple, 2 Bella gobies, flame hawk, lawnmower blenny, clownfish pair, several wrasses, and 10 really big the biggest springeri damsels I’ve ever seenEven better, it's Kessil H380.
I thought it was crazy too. But with this light, the chaeto grow crazy and take up all the excess nutrients. I have extremely high bioload with 15~20 fishes in this 100 gallons system with 2 tangs, cooper band, anthias, chromis, wrasses,...
there’s more fish that just what I can remember. There’s really not that much in terms biological filtration the sand
I don't set specific targets. I try to keep no3 above 10ppm and po4 at minimum possible with heavy feeding. (It's different than minimum po4 and no3 with a little feeding).
If you read my last couple posts, I had po4 jump over 0.61ppm (out of test range of Hana Phosphorus checker) and nitrate over 100ppm (also out of test range).
Lol pretty much along the same lines min/max guidelines Po4 .15-.25 and No3 10-25ppm. Personally the last time I tested Jan 2019 the Po4 .19-.22 (hanna 774) and no3 15-20ppm (salifert) had been stable for easily 9 months. I refuse to chase a number (in general) especially something like inorganic phosphate may or may not be in alignment w/ the organic phosphate level which is actually what’s utilized. Trying to “fix it” has associated risk doing more harm than good most of the time honesty the sps look better anyways. In my opinion it’s a physiological impulse from “low nutrient” wave to do extreme measures even though your corals look fine and are happier, but we do it any ways. At any rate I’ve always pretty much run high nutrients when I first got in this hobby po4 wasn’t a big thing or even a thing at all you just watch your corals used them as determining factor to you maintenance/feeding routine, and etc. My Walt Disney speaks it’s one coral there’s a night and day difference in color (a positive way with higher levels). Take a look at my thread if you need proof that it doesn’t slow growth enough to even worry I grew 2” frag into 9x7x4” tall colony and 2.5” stag frag 12”x5” multi branch antler in 14-15 months. I think there’s limitations though if you’re running high energy set up your uptake will be higher vs. a low energy system (less intense light/low flow). Sorry for the novel I just don’t want to get trolled lol!
WWC Bounce growing so big. The clown's made it home.
Some other chalice that I don't remember names. gifted from a friend.
Group shot.
I think the bounce like high nutrient. Back to last month when I had nutrient issue, the bubbles was way bigger than now. Now I have small bubbles, but I notice more new small bubbles growing. [emoji848]
