Hello everyone. I'm new to keeping acros and just ordered my first battlebox. I'm looking for any advice or input that maybe helpful.
System is 16g and maintained with AFR and a 12oz daily WC. Lighting is 2 Primes giving 250-350 across the rockwork on AB+ measured with Apogee. Age 1yr running w/ 3yr live rock and ocean direct sand.
No3 30
Po4 0.10
dKH 8.2
Cal 480
Mag 1343
Temp 77.8F
Sal 34.7ppt
Flow is a single Nero 5 set to pulse between 950gph & 1250gph every 8 secs.
Some of my concerns are the single wave maker. I really don't have room/outlets for more equipment, nor the budget at this point. Also, I pretty much only feed TDO pellets. I don't dose anything else besides AFR. I do have some reef chili laying around that I could start feeding with, or make the switch back to frozen. I'm not sure how much PE is dependent on feeding, or how much color comes from things like amino supplements.
Any thoughts or comments greatly appreciated. Thanks.
