Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone happens to know what nutrient (PO4 and NO3) levels Than @Tidal Gardens runs in his coral propagation facility. I vaguely remember his phosphate is between 0.1-0.2.

And if anyone knows what model of Radion he is using? Blues or Pros? Schedule and intensity?

Kind regards,

From what I recall from the umpteen videos I've watched, they run a lot of Blues (but they have a good mix of other types of lights as well). I couldn't verify the nutrient levels but I know they have at least one system on ozone.

Well I can tell from the videos he is running a bunch of 4's with diffusers...

I think they are too high up for three's Three's that high up with diffusers the Par would be about 100

We try to keep our tanks between .05 - .15, Sometimes they can get above .2.

We have Radion G4s and G5s. Some are Pros and Some are Blues as well. However, we stick to mostly the same schedule with heavy blues all day and then 4-5 hours of whites running roughly 60%.

Thank you so much for your reply! Is that number the same for nitrate?
