Remember to clean your skimmer guys!!

Before cleaning, all i can get is tea color or slightly darker on my MCE 600.. decided to clean the whole unit last week and within a week of skimming i got a nice thick black gooey skimmate.

Thanks bro, its rated for 700L and my tank's only 260L.. guess thats one of the reason why i have black skimmate.. but the design of the skimmer requires more cleaning. i also tend to skim on the dry side.

Thanks bro. I'm thinking for me i won't dare to ram up to 75 on white.

But do you tune down when you aclimatise new coral?

when i first started using razor after changing from maxspect g2 170w to the razor, my max intensity is A:50%B:70%. once or every 2 weeks i will ramp up 5%. Our LEDs, T5 or MH no matter how strong will never be able to be as strong as our sun. So IMO, we can run 100% on both channel with no issue but acclimatization is very important.

end of the day i might run A:85% B:100%. As i believe this will improve both color and growth.

Hhahaha i hope so man...

Premium price should come with premium service.. Reef depot themselves are well known for their service too!

can pm me the price of the tank?

Thanks

Its around $300+ with the empty sump tank and also delivery charges, cant remember exact amount.

Bought some new frags today..

im guessing deepwater..
some sort of millie?
bought the interesting jebao wp-25, i used to run my wp40 at 15V (almost half speed) on else mode. I tried the wp25 on else (8000l/hr) and probably due to the narrower wave, it was too strong and im worried my SPS may not be able to take it.. Changed it to W1 (wave mode) at S2 speed and it seems just right. really love the super small size compared to wp40.

Tank's been running for 3 1/2 months now! Heres a ton of pictures for the long holiday!

I first started with 2 frags of SPS thinking it'll just be for fun since my main love is zoas. Well i still love zoas but my tank's becoming more SPS dominated as time goes by!

Bali Green slimer. Bought it with white patches, right now the skin are growing on it! love the PE too.
