As you eluded to, the hood with lights on will trap heat. You could try to elevate the hood slightly to allow air to flow in and out of the tank. You could also add a small fan close by the tank (i.e. USB fan or aquarium fan).Been having an issue lately with the water temp rising to over 81deg. I keep my house between 72-74 deg so this is obviously because of the led and the hood on the evo.
Do you guys have any solutions for this other than changing light systems?
Thanks for the tips I'm going to try and raising the light bar a little bit to see if that helps!
What do you guys think on the alkalinity level fluctuations? Is this normal?
To my understanding, Alkalinity is one of those best to monitor frequently when possible; especially if you have many corals. It fluctuate often; if not daily depending.
For me I supplement Alkalinity depletion using a dosing pump to avoid manual daily dosing.
I have neither an ato system or a ro/di unit. Seems very strange to me that I am having this issue.I was having an alkalinity problem and found out it was my ato water. My filters were going bad on my ro/di unit. Changed filters no more problems.
I know my 20G nano went through a similar cycle where alkalinity was low even when there were very few corals. I just think it's the tank's intake and less on corals. regardless whatever u decide to do, go slow. if it's not impact your corals or fish... take ur time getting your alkalinity to 7-11dkh and keep that as stable as you can.
Thanks. It's only like 5 hermits and 5 snails.looking good. I saw a slew of CUC there
I wish I could take the credit for it. But I got it like that lolI'm so so impressed with your purple algee!!! I can't get purple in my tank but RS only five month old! So jealous!! Looks great!
I love when a company cares so much about their service that the owner steps in to help out. With just your interaction/word of mouth with these guys I will buy their product if I ever need it!Picked this stuff up from one of my lfs. This is what they use in all their tanks and the company is local. I reached out to the company for some more info and the owner called me and went over what I should do. The plan is to manually dose 1ml everyday for one week and see what the parameters look like.
This will be my starting point and I will post my parameters everyday for the next week so you all can see. I appears to be good stuff but I suppose we will find out.
