1000 Gallon 3D Hole in the wall

I always had problem with bringing up the color for the purple sps in my tank, amd i suspect it was due to the low potassium level .

Finally decided to invest a salifest potassium test kit, and bring up the level to 400 and indeed beginning to see some postive result.

Thank you for sharing with us on the importance of potassium! How long did you hold your potassium at 400 before you saw results?

Potassium r vey important to coloration of sps. My red monti start to hv burnt surfaces and green monti started to lose color before it healed after a few wks after dosing of potassium to 400ppm. Potassium also helped in coloration in red/pink sps beside some purple sps.

No problem, bros. Juz sharing this based on my experience. My potassium levels once hit 300ppm before and some of my sps mainly monti started to lose color ( I suspect plating monti consumes more potassium compared to other sps maybe due to their larger surface area of tissue growth ). So depletion of k will definitely cause stress on sps corals. Color only came bk after potassium levels was normalize.

Actually just one week after I bring the level up without any changes to light setting or other parameters.

Hey bro! Thanks for sharing. Im having the same issue as well with my purple stylo. Looks exactly like urs at the moment. My potassium is at 410. But no change sadly. Not sure if i should bump it up higher.

Let me know your results!

Wow! Just saw this thread! Truly inspirational stuff!!! Thank you very much for sharing!

Also, I noticed from page 11 onwards, a LOT of pictures are broken.

Ya i just notice this as well. Must be the facebook picture link which cause the issue. Have to slowly fix it one by one now.

Just to share a very useful cleaning pad that I found in gaint superstore. Tested and proven against cleaning algae and doesn't scratch my glass / acrylic tank.

[RocketBunny]

Nice! Maybe can modify with a stick to extend it longer! may i know how big is the sponge cleaner? bigger than a 2 dollar note?

[Harlequinmania]

Yes, another tip will be removing the white section and place it against your cleaning magnet. You will see a big different when cleaning your glass..

[Harlequinmania]

Size is about a $2.00 note Iong i think .

New gadets bought recently.

Apex AWM for controlling all the AI and the WXM for controlling the vortex wave maker. Pretty cool to enable the wave maker to switch from tidal mode to nutrient export mode automatically.

How does the AWM compare to the AI director? How's the interface & level of control?

[oceanviper]

How is the main tank looks?

The AWM can only control up to 12 unit of AI lighting whereas for the AI director, it can control up to 30 light and up to 10 tank with a single controller. After having try both controller, I would say that the director is so much easier to use / update the firm ware, and setup. Whereas for the AWM , it took me nearly two day to figure out on the setting up . I almost give up on this, and hopefully apex could improve their online instruction manual that would be much clearer in explaining the setting up.
