Can we get some updated pics? I came across your tank when I was looking for Hydra 32 settings and I all I can say is WOW!

I built a reef tank in my loft at home.The preparations started in the summer of 2019 and the seawater was added on January 18, 2020. I'm going to show you the record to date. There is already an aquatic plant tank on the right side.I decided to make a tank full of coral on the left side of this one.

And it was recently filled with coral.

This is my tank build thread.

absolutely Stunni!!

Hey everyone, how are you doing?
It's been a very long time since I've posted, but I'm continuing this great hobby of mine.
I tend to post on Instagram so if you want to take a look there too. My account is takaki1980.

I am often asked about the settings for the Hydra32HD, so I will put the latest settings here.

I have increased the number of lights from 3 to 5 and increased the UV area from the previous settings.

Have a good reef life!

Love the tank progression. Especially the variety of coral you have in your tank!

The AI file won't load for me when unzipped. Can you attach a different way?

What a great light schedule! I have been following @Takaki1980 on Instagram for a while and have applied this schedule to my AIS today. What a difference! I had been using David Saxby’s schedule before, but I have never seen my corals as puffy and open, as they are today with Takaki’s settings.

Could you send it here please? I tried loading the one attached here but it didn't work.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do it other than zip it. it seems I can't upload it as an ai file. if I unzip it, it should be an ai file. can't I use it?

DM me your email address and I'll send it directly to you!

Somehow I think my Acros do not get the nice rich color or lets say the pop and glow.
Its more like they lose the intnsity of coloration...

I am not sure if its due to my AI Hydra 32 HD settings...

I have only 30-35% White for 6 hours a day. Do you think its because of that? @Takaki1980

@Takaki1980
your tanks are amazing !
besides the lightning source that is very important, can I ask what is you No3, Po4 method?
Are you dosing trace elements?
What type of salt are you using with ?

 

[jsker]

A dosing pump was installed. I chose the Jebao doser 3.4. Since I plan to add 4 trace elements and 1 coral food, I really wanted something that can add 5 of them.But I chose this doser 3.4 because the size of the cabinet is small and it can only ignite 4 of them.The same series has a product called doser 3.1 that can add one to the cabinet, so I will add this one later.I will add this one later.

The trace element additive is redsea's Coral Colors.Coral Food will also be redsea's Reef Energy Plus. The trace element additive will be diluted three times in RO water and each element will be added three times a day, staggered in time. I'm not sure if coral food should be added in small amounts continuously, or if I should add a certain amount more in as little as two times.

A bottle to hold the additive

Installation

Were did you find the bottles for you trace elements. Are the bottle and tops come with the elements in them? Or did you purchase the bottle separate?

Edit, found part of my answer back on page 8 or 9. What you happen to know the brand of bottles? Maybe I can find the bottles over here or order them.

The things I noticed
Beautiful tank loft, and tanks!!
