This is a screenshot of my light schedule that I used over the last 3 year's on the old Hydra 52's.

As I've only upgrade to HD's recently I'm still using a similar schedule,only with blues at 120% now.

The below schedule was used to grow the corals you see from frags to the colonies.

Hi, thanks for the nice comment.
I have 2 x MP40 QD at opposite ends of the tank running on reef crest at 100% power.
I've just bought another MP40 which I'm hoping will arrive this weekend as I think I could be doing with a bit more flow as the coral growth is restricting things I think

Ok, I have 2 MP40 QD at opposite ends too, these pumps are very good.. I Saw yours pictures and you Aquarium changed when you placed the Vortechs. These pumps are controled for a reeflink device.

Where do you plan to place the new MP40?

I´m from Caracas, Venezuela... My country actually is in bad situation, You Know "The Cuban communism and socialism" is very difficult keep the hobbie. Here there is no food for fish, corals, salt, additives.... but even so I have the aquarium running.

Thanks for sharing.....

Hi Antonio,
I believe the aquarium changed and things grew better because of a few things.
I started to test more and control my water parameters better,I added the vortechs and I added a 3rd light.

I plan on adding the 3rd mp40 at the right hand side so there will be more water being pushed towards my overflow.

I live in Belfast, Ireland and we have our own problems here with Tory austerity and Brexit. The grass isn't always greener my friend

Hi Pete,
I have a Deltec Sc1456 which I hadn't used in around 4 months now. I've just recently turned it back on again due to increasing the feedings as this Powder Brown has a big appetite. I also have a vertex reactor that I used to run Rowaphos in, again I hadn't used it for around 4 months as my algae bed was able to manage nutrient export all by itself. I've just put the reactor back online though as I've increased feedings. So other than what I've mentioned I don't do anything else
