SRC Member stevenchia Posted July 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yes, u can start by ramping half an hr a week and observe. Good luck & see if the colors & growth improve. If growth improve, rem to chk ur ca & carbonate levels cos u might need to dose more.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Mine i put it at 12hrs blue n white. Maximum lights.. but beware that algae will increase too if ur po4 is high. Then u will be like me. Everyweek pulling out weeds and changing water.

Admiraltian Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 thanks. on a side note, got a hailea hc150 today. temp set to 26-27°C. anyone can recommend flow rate? Try a lower limit of the recommended flow rate of the chiller. Helps in chilling the tank faster.

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted August 8, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted August 8, 2013 kH should be kept at 8-9.. Quote EvolutionZ's Floating Reef: (Decommed) EvolutionZ's 4ft shallow Mixed Reef Build : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiraltian Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Diiferent reefers keep at different range. Ulns will usually be at lower range 6.5-8dkh. Some ppl kept at btwn 7-11dkh, some ppl at 8-12dkh or 8-11dkh but whatever it is, a healthy stable KH would be the key in maintaining a healthy reef.

Admiraltian Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 why when i look at the BN they dont look pink at all!!! Could be due to lighting and parts of the stem where more light is shine on it will be more pink. Some parts maybe lighter or yellowish.
