TMC Pulsar LPS-6

[weemanno1]

Morning Everyone.. I have a tmc lps 6 lamp and its just defaulted everything to 50% through all 6 channels.
ive tried ot resaearch and used light settings from hydra 32s which is 60-70 % the blues and purples ? 40% for white as i want macro algae in the tank. 6% green. Do i leave them at 50%. or use the hydras as a bench mark?. the tank is 70cm and 45cm deep. light is at 20cm from top of water :)
I don't know if I'm supposed to just max everything out or not its a little un nerving when you cant find anyone using them.

All good, how long have you had a tank? And yes TMC should have support, allow me to look it up.

I’m only cycling the tank as of today as i have had diy filter drama.. I e made an aio system and not sealed it down to the glass bottom and sides so when it emptied the sump as I had it set to high.. it floated off down the tank

Lets go!

Lets go!

So we have water a pump and now it’s bonded to the tank (idiot) a working diy aio. So it’s running at 500lph currently just need to set the reef roller up but once it’s up to temp I’ll mix my salt in

Looking good keep us updated

Is 500 lph ok for 110ltrs of water! I also have a wave maker set at 3000lph for circulation

Looking good keep us updated

• A 500 lph pump would fill a 110-liter tank in approximately 13.2 minutes (110 liters / 500 lph = 0.22 hours, which is 0.22 * 60 minutes = 13.2 minutes). This is a quick and reasonable fill time.
• 500 lph is a relatively high flow rate, but it's not excessive for a small tank like this. The pump will likely be able to keep up with the tank's capacity.
• • If you're using a submersible pump, its output may be different than a surface pump. Check the pump's specifications for the precise flow rate.

It’s a 1000 lph pump running at 50% if it’s 2 fast I can turn it down to 40% :)

Lighting wise I’m running at 30% currently and waiting for the par meter to arrive to test but light channels I’ve tried to research and this is the best I’ve come up with a little white light as I want mangroves and macro algae in there but mainly blues a purples :)
