If the alk slowly dropped, they will acclimate. It helps that u keep low nutrients. If you bring up, im sure u no do it slowly

24” 8 Bulb ATI PowermoduleWhat lights?
I’m not trying to fix it. I’m letting it ride. It’s kind of hard to argue with the results I’ve been having for 6 plus months. Color is steadily getting better, and I’m getting decent growth. I’m just trying to maintain my reactor to stay consistent.so are you gonna purposely keep it this low , or are you bringing it up?
good luck, keep us updated. There was another member who ran his pretty low for a few months tooI’m not trying to fix it. I’m letting it ride.

He’s running his dkh at 4-5 though.Running lower alk is not really new, when I ran a Zeovit system I kept mine around 6.5-7dkh as per recommendations of Korallin Zucht to get the best results of the Zeo system.
While most recommend to keep non-ULN closed systems at 9-11, the average DKh of seawater is 7, so it shouldn't be suprising to see corals thrive around this level, or even slightly below it.
That...Things are still good. Alk has climbed up to about 5.7-5.9 dkh. These photos were taken in March.
Didn’t even know that level of blue was possible with T5. What bulbs are you running?24” 8 Bulb ATI Powermodule
My current bulb combo is 6 blue plus and 2 coral plus. The powermodule is a Led/T5 hybrid. I also have two reefbrite xho strips on it.Didn’t even know that level of blue was possible with T5. What bulbs are you running?
Ah that definitely explains the color. I go back and forth trying to figure out if I like that as much as just T5. It looks great.My current bulb combo is 6 blue plus and 2 coral plus. The powermodule is a Led/T5 hybrid. I also have two reefbrite xho strips on it.
