Yes bro. These and some small gonio frags are the ones I would hope to lift it off the sandbed a bit. Saw very nice rock at a LFS but it’s owned by another bro lol. Pretty common pieces bro. And can’t seem to take good pics with my iPhone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut feel tells me your Acans will be exposed to too much light. Acans need very low PAR (around 100 PAR levels or less) to maintain its puffiness & color. Its about the same vicinity as your SPS - so its either your SPS has insufficient light or your acans will be overexposed. 1 Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally realized how difficult it is to have a mixed reef tank smaller than 4 feet. Placement of corals is really tough. Can’t find much shaded areas. I had to remove a WM as there’s too much flow for the softies. In fact I traded my scolys lol. Sps happy softies not happy and vice versa My current light is at 65% AB+ but currently on acclimation mode of 55% so its actually very low. The rainbow acans can take more light of about 220 par. But not so sure of my other acans. Headache...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted August 5, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 5, 2018 Temp caretaker for a fellow reefer while waiting for his new tank. Damn stressed.

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted August 6, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 6, 2018 Been doing weekly 10-15% WC since tank setup 3 months ago. NO3 finally dropping to 10PPM after introduction of 1/2 KG of chaeto (thanks to a nice fellow reefer). And yes, finally the chaeto is growing very well, which also means too much nutrients..... Any reefers with advice on WC? Maybe reduce to 5% weekly? Instead of 15%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like “mini” Acan corner lol. So far so good. 2 weeks ago NO3 was 20-25ppm. Now it’s down to 10. But I added almost a volley ball sized amount of chaeto to kickstart. Now whole sump full of algae too. I feed 2x a day. A bit of pellets in the morning. Night one cube of Mysis. If I’m home, will feed some nori sheets as a snack. Realized that seaweed will foul the water quite quickly. The thing about Red Sea refeers, the sump is a tad small. May have an issue when my tank is more heavily stocked. Will have to think of an alternative later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good/bad thing about red sea reefers, its a "AIO" in a small package. But its pretty hard to work with, will take some time to get used to the tight space. Maybe in a year or so (tank only 4 months old), either i upgrade to a bigger tank, or custom a sump. Most likely have to redo the pipes too......

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted August 19, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 19, 2018 Some updates. Took out my Maxspect Gyre 230 and replaced with a Vortech MP10 and a Jebao OW-25 as I can’t seem to direct the flow where I want it to be with the gyre. Please do not be mistaken, the Gyre is a very good all rounder WM. But most tanks 3 feet and below (unless is a full or sps dominated tank), it may be challenging to direct the flow to ur liking for a mixed reef tank. The real surprise was the Jebao OW-25. My Gosh, I’m stunned at how easy it is to use and how strong the waves are. The wave patterns are wider (not as pinpoint) than the MP-10. In terms of style, the MP-10 wins hands down! U get to programme the wave patterns over a 24 hours period. To be frank, I was a tad disappointed by the output. At 80% , it’s not even as strong as Jebao at 40% power. Someone told me before I bought the Voretch, u sure? Can buy 5 Jebao u know! Can your MP10 last longer than 5 Jebao? And boy.....he may be right........

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted August 19, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 19, 2018 Currently using 2 frag racks. IM Reef Rack 32 (Cos previously N52 no stock) N52 Mag Rack Pro Was concerned about the length of 12 inches for the N52. I was Glad it fit perfectly and it’s looks kinda flushed. Without any corals, u can’t really see the rack. Just a note, cos it’s a slim type, you can put much corals unless ur using very small frag plugs. But the magnet isn’t really strong. Easy to manoeuvre up and down during WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
