New Red Sea Max E-170 Tank Owner

[kevin318]

I have the Hydra 26 HD LEDs on my E-260, my stings are as follows:
UV, V, RY, B = 65%
Red % Green = 0%
White = 5%
I have had good results, so if you are not at these settings then ramp up to them. Oh, Moonlight I have at 3%, and run lights for 10 hours.

I'll give it a try, I'm not far off those settings now. Why do you have your white so low?
Beautiful tank, wow!!!

I have found the corals tend to start bleaching a little when whites are higher, also having 300 dives in the tropics, it matches more to what you see at depth.

BTW thanks for the compliment on my tank, worked diligently to get it to the state it is today. Oh, I have a California Rainbow BTA for sale, interested? LOL!

Also Kevin, I'm using the Aquaforest Component 1-2-3 for dosing. After I started to use it 5 years ago, my corals just exploded!

Hi,
I'm a new Red Sea Max E-170 tank owner for about 3 three weeks now and I've had salt tanks for many years, but never got into corals. I'm planning of starting with softies and maybe get more complex from there. I have had a couple purple mushrooms and some zoanthids that came with some live rock that I purchased years ago. They are both trying to acclimated, hopefully soon. I been reading, watching videos, and joining forums, this is a new journey and I'm excited about it. Thanks for having me.
Stay safe!

Kevin

Welcome aboard!
