blueheaven Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 The overall look of the tank is quite yellowish as expected and I hope it will lighten up soon. My baby blue zoos and palytoa are getting a little bit stressed up by the sudden change in lighting. Would observe them a few more days before deciding whether I should move them down.

ettin Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Bro, Always great to view your tank's progress. I have a question for you..... I just started my 4 ft tank 2 months back, I would like to know when can I try SPS and what is the easiest SPS to start with? I have 2 x 250W MH , Chiller & Beckett.. pretty much like what you have also a CR.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 For SPS, you have to read up more on husbandry. In short, I consider water quality as top priority with water movement as next and strong lightings as last priority. If you have stable water parameters and turbulent, multi-directional flow and of course good lights and have armed yourself with an array of information about SPS, you might want to try M. digitatas and M. capricornis first as a start. If the specimens have started to encrust on the rocks and polyps are visible, you are on the right track. The one greatest mistake that you can make is to jump into SPS without knowing proper husbandry. As you can see, I only started SPS when my tank is almost a year old Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world.

blueheaven Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 BTW, I am considering changing my skimmer pump to a Rio 20HF. Since my pump is just beside the skimmer, the headloss would not be too great. What do you guys think? Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world.

acidjazz Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 BTW, I am considering changing my skimmer pump to a Rio 20HF. Since my pump is just beside the skimmer, the headloss would not be too great. What do you guys think? Rio20 is a very affordable pump. 5400l/hr and its only 50watt. currently using that as my return for my 3.5x2.5x2.5ft tank. Enough flow and power despite the head loss. Alternatively, i think can consider Ocean Runner or Eheim1262 also.

blueheaven Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 The colour of the BLVs are very yellow. Even the T5s are not able to offset the colour. Hope it turns whiter when it had burned in Will post a tank pic with the new lights on later at night Anyway, will there be an increase in skimmer performance if I change my MD40 to a Rio 20HF? I have not been reading the threads recently so would like some comments Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world.

Sponsor dr evil Posted June 27, 2005 Sponsor Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hi BH, As not to shock ur live stocks with the new 250's, try running lesser hours in the begining and gradually increasing the number of hours. The 10k are not pleasant to the eye but it will benefit ur corals esp for sps. run a few actinics to suppliment the 10ks...... that will make the look more whiter... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will remove by the end of this week Are the 10kk really so yellowish looking? Or maybe the colour would change once I run it for a few more days? And also, I am supplimenting them with 2x54w T5s an Aquaz Actinic and an Aqualight CoralBlue. Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world.
