EvolutionZ's Shallow reef build.

Evolutionz · July 20, 2013

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.

Got the chance to view the tank in person yesterday. Managed to get poisoned by bro evo on Razor after the visit after seeing the nice colours on his corals. Looks like I have another shopping place in wdls now

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! hope you like the zoas u got from me. the razor 120w 16k will be perfect for your tank!

Bro Evo mind sharing your razer settings?

Evolutionz · July 22, 2013

If i remember correctly :

12PM - A:1% B:40%

2PM - A:40% B:60%

3pm A:65% B:80%

5pm A:70% B:85%

10PM A:75% B:95%

1230am :A:0% B:0%

so my tank experience high intensity from 3pm to 10pm.

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?

Evolutionz · July 22, 2013

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.

My skimmer rated 1000l & I also dry skim but only get green tea. Maybe shd try cleaning it one of these days.

lol bro evo unofficial razor spokesman...sorry i come from the AI camp =p

hehehe... maxspect should hire me since i always help them promote their Razor!

nicreef · July 22, 2013

hehe free upgrade for life perhaps and new set to test? =Pp

btw not promoting AI or anything but their after service was pretty impressive. Just gave reef depot a call coz the new AI set and old AI has some difference. Told him where i got my set from and the guy on phone knows whom i am + serial number of the AI i got from him. Thou difference cant be solved i am very happy customer

ShadowX10A · July 22, 2013

Ur shallow reef is my dream to follow bro..!!

Evolutionz · July 22, 2013

A RBTA i got from pinnacle almost 2 weeks ago. Probably because of their tank which are very dimly lighted, it went into hiding under the rocks for more than a week.. Today decided to re-emerge. hopefully will not start to move around!

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

some sort of millie?

http://s961.photobucket.com/user/fissiden/media/20130726_212928_zps0a32ffb4.jpg.html'>

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.
