The black boxes are more then capable of supporting clams, they put out a massive amount of parJust wondering if it can be done. I have 2 165w lights on my 55.
Water params are pretty stable. Not sure what I need to be keeping an eye on.
Someone local got some in and I want one.
I have mine turned down to less than 50% for my lps. Still good?The black boxes are more then capable of supporting clams, they put out a massive amount of par
You may have to turn up the intensity, but do it very slowly over time or your lps will not be happyI have mine turned down to less than 50% for my lps. Still good?
Im completely new to the thought of one.
I don't know how strong the intensity at 50% with your light system but clam never have enough or too much light, you won't get any problem giving clam too much light but if you set your light too low then you will kill your clam in no time. Everytime, I increase my light intensity I can see my clams are more happier, especially those clams sitting on the tank bottom.I have mine turned down to less than 50% for my lps. Still good?
60,000.So i am acclimating a new deresa clam right now with a black box. The blues are about 65% and whites are about 20%. Perhaps @saltyfilmfolks can elaborate on this lux meter reading at the waters surface...
He may be able to assist with par estimation. And where you would go from here
I plan on increasing by 6000 lux every 4-5 days
Interesting... Glad i posted that. Ive been acclimating the deresa for 2 weeks in an sps dominant tank. 18" water column.60,000.
That's kind of a lot.
I'm scared I'm going to kill everything. I really need to grab a par meter.Fun, not difficult [emoji2]
Yea, maybe double check. What % are you getting the 60k at?By the way, its a 300 watt mars aqua 11 inches off the water, 10 inches from the white ball sensor
Sure. For a while depending on which clam. Maximas and squamosas grow fairly slowly. A deresa, hippopus, or gigas would grow more quickly.Will they even do okay in a 55 gallon tank?
Ive been getting home late but ill checkYea, maybe double check. What % are you getting the 60k at?
My sb gets 40k at 12in.
I haven't looked at the mars Lux in a while.
@reeferfoxx dose that sound right?
