Hey everyone, I'm Paul. Been in the hobby for many years,from my first 75, to my 180, to my 29 biocube, to my current 12 (I'm going backwards, right?). My current setup is a 12 gallon tank I have no idea what kind it is. Someone please tell me! Setup: AquaC Remora S skimmer, Modified surface intake with 200 IM micron sock (plus lower level input), heater controller, Prime HD light, auto aqua micro ATO. I use Red Sea Coral pro salt plus a two part dosing supplement. Tank has been running for about a month, no fish yet, want to be super picky. Just some LPS and a couple softies with a NPS tube anomene, 4 RBTA babies from my last setup, and 2 feather dusters. Feed with Rods and phytofeast. AquaFX 6 stage RO/DI system for 0 TDS water. Would love some advice, specifically about the prime HD settings. I currently ramp slowly at 20k at 1-5% in the mornings and evenings for extended lighting and run 12k @ 60%. Any advice? I am not using individual channels for control. Nice to meet everyone!

Paul

Thanks, appreciate it. I wanted to start off very slow with good equipment this time. Dry sand and rock for no critters, but tanks a long time to cycle and grow coraline

I remember meeting you in Green Bay when the FVRC existed and had frag swaps there

My 12 gal used to be gorgeous, then crashed to my RBTA decaying, dying, and killing everything. After one year of no coming back, I decided to redo the tank. Would like the new Red Sea E-Max in the near future.
