So I guess I'm a tad too low, eh? That's good to hear. Any suggestions on a range I should shooting for? Thanks8% intensity???

I remember reading something from him saying Triton's target was off, but I can't find it either.I am googling like crazy trying to find an upper threshold, or toxic level... I just can’t find the right info... hopefully @Randy Holmes-Farley logs and and gives us all one of his famous chemistry lessons
Thanks ... That sounds like a good combination. How do calibrate your refractometer? I use Brightwell Refractometer Calibration Standard, which sets it at 35 ppt salinity or 1.0264 specific gravity. Also, I use Hanna's calibration fluid for their tester. I made my own standard for the Pinpoint checker, per Randy's formula, but I probably didn't do it right, which caused my readings to be off.I use a refractometer and the milwakee digital unit
That's a great idea. I'll start doing that too.I zero them with rodi water and then check them with a 35ppt solution
Oh yes. On a 40 breeder i had two A360we's 7" off the water ramping up to about 70%So I guess I'm a tad too low, eh? That's good to hear. Any suggestions on a range I should shooting for? Thanks
A Great Big Thank You! I'll plan on ramping intensity up 1-2% per day, if that sounds good to you.Oh yes. On a 40 breeder i had two A360we's 7" off the water ramping up to about 70%
You'll probably want to be somewhere in the 40-50% range but ramp up to that slowly.
Based on thisA Great Big Thank You! I'll plan on ramping intensity up 1-2% per day, if that sounds good to you.
I would kick it up to at least 20% and then start raising it slowly from there. If you had it at 35% within the last 2 or 3 weeks I would take it to 30% and start ramping.I've had the intensity as high as 35%, but before the latest change it was 12%.
Yes the red sea works for me.I just found some Seachem Iodide I had, which I was doing a couple of years ago, to see if would help my invertebrates. So it sounds like I should give it a try. But I do need to get a good test kit. From your thread, it sounds like the Red Sea kit?
AOK ... will do. Thanks again!Based on this

Thanks ... I'll get it soon.Yes the red sea works for me.
Thank you ... I'm trying to figure out how much I should feed and how often. I currently try to feed a lot and about 4 times a day, with 1 cube Mysis, 1 cube Brine Shrimp and BRS Reef Chili. |
I've recently tried both Reef-Roids and Brightwell CoralAmino, but it didn't help much. Although, that's when things were already pretty bad. So I plan on using them again, when (hopefully) the corals are doing better. I just don't want to change too much at once.Dosing amino with reefroids usually works for me.
I agree, so I'm trying to slowly raise Nitrates to see how they react. I did this a couple of months ago and my corals started getting worse. Although, at the same time Phosphates were also getting pretty high. So I think the significant rise in Phosphates contributed to the corals getting worse. Now I'm trying to keep Phosphates low and gradually increase Nitrates. The most significant factor, though, appears to have been low lighting. I raised the intensity 2 days ago, based on the suggestions in this thread, and I'm already seeing many of the corals improving.I will said is the 0 nitrate.. my tank had the same problem no nitrate and my corals look pale and some of them started to bleach out .. so I add some nitrate up to 10ppm and all my corals looks more healthy more colorful and more open .. I hope this help
