Evening,
I recently upgraded to the ai Prime in my 13.5 fluval. Had it setup for 50% acclimation for 30 days, half way through i put an anemone in, and turned it to 100%.. ive bleached one coral and killed another, the cyanobis out of control - I did put an RFG in today, the stuff it blew up amazed me. I also had a day two weeks ago without power for 14 hours, tank dropped to 64, three dead fish. I changed the light back 4 days ago, today my torch melted.
mom top of everything else, I sprayed up a bunch of crap the other day and did what I’d consider an emergency water change, the salinity hadn’t settled, went as high as .29 for about 24 hours until I noticed and did another change.
also found my chaeto refugium had basically melted inside chamber 1 with intank and an external light.
This tanks been amazing for almost 8 months, why, the biggest change is the light as far as I can tell. I’ve checked all the parameters, calcium’s a bit high (dosing every few days with polypone) amonia spiked to .5 after the power loss, but is back under control.
aside from kicking up the flow, this light has to be set right, I don’t believe I have. I took 20% off the BRS ideal settings for mixed tank.
