So as it turns out i.missed some acro base growing on a rock and needless to say ive spotted redbugs on a few corals so back into QT with all acros exept millis. Pulled out some rocks to get rid of whats growing on the rocks so now i wont be reinfested.

Also got in new bulbs to replace old/dead ones. Got a ATI Blue + (was guiseman blue+) ATI Coral +( was KZ Fiji Purple)


Scaped changed slightly too

Heres some results of adding the new screen. Po4 down to 0.00 using hanna checker.

Old screen with new par38 led. Notice the circle in middle lol. Ive backed the bulbs up a bit to see if it prevents that.

Heres new unused screen after just 1 week if growth under 26w cfl each side with lowes 8" reflector.

You really don't want your phos that low. You need to feed heavier. Give those corals something to color up and grow.

 

[gmoney243]

Yup i shut off my gfo lol was only using 3/4 cup well see how it goes. I feed heavy as is i have a decent ammount of fish. And phos that low isnt as bad when removed by Algae because it gives time for corals to feed off the poo the fish are making before the algae slowly removes it all day. But i agree i dont want them that low

What do you mean it was split automatically due to performance issues? what issues was it? Do you mean you just wanted to start a thread elsewhere?

 

[NeveSSL]

Performance of thread posts? IE, how many you can get? Move it to a bigger forum?

We see how it is, Mike.

:D j/k

No the leds i used are posted a cpl pages back. They are 3700k par bulbs from lowes. They use 23w and put out the same lumens and spectrum as the cfl i use.
