Joe,

You got all 3 (Ushio, Iwasaki, Radium) bulbs in one housing or you have to change everytime?

I'm keen to house 2xushio and 2xradium in one housing? Is that possible? How can we achieve it? Can someone design a reflector that can do this?

Regards

HI Joe, what's your daily routine to maintain dkh & calcium. My reef is less dense than yours and I've already have trouble maintaining my calcium & dkh without supplement. Running on 1400litre rated Calcium Reactor + 1000 litre Kalk stirrer still not enough :cry: Presently adding supplement for calcium daily and buffer every other 3 days to maintain parameters @ 11dkh and Calcium @ 400pm. BTW how's your growth? Maybe you can share your parameters and compare notes.

:upsidedown:

hijack!

yazid: i do have a prototype reflector (essentially spider mod) which can house 2 single ended bulb! they are placed side by side with an extra kink on the top. imagine a normal spider reflector with the extra top kink for each bulb! the reflector is also large!

I have the same problem in maintaining my alk and calcium levels.....

My current DIYed Reactor can't keep up with my reef's calcium intake and that's why I dose Kalk extensively..... mixed with vinegar....

You should see the amount of vinegar i pump in per dosing.... sometimes nearly half bottle full.....!!!

My current alk status is 10-11 dKH and Calcium levels register 400 - 420 ppm...

pH registers at 8.3 during photo period....

My acros do show pretty good growth but now that I have downgraded my MHs to 250Ws, might need some time to see how they fare with their new growth rates...

BTW, if you notice in the first picture that the centre aread of my reef looks pretty dark and that is due to the absence of a centre bulb.... Still considering the addition of either a 250 or 400 W bulb Ushio 10kk....

Durian, do post up some pics of your reef for us to see...... :)

Thanks Joe.

:blink: I'm not the only one with the problem :cry: Vinegar will cause SPS extensive poly extension...if U can take some macro-photo....it will be very nice to see the hairy poly :yeah: Most of the liquid food are mixture of freeze dried plankton + vinegar anway.

Most Calcium reactor can't do the job, unless you got a reactor that's sized 5X or more for a densely packed tank. That's being true, as U can observe most hardcore/seasoned SPS reefers at RC dose 2 part additives daily to keep up, even with their huge DIY or PM type reactor - BTW they are buying 2-part direct from vendor like ESV in 10 gallon bracket. -> where can we can this type of supply?? Anyway pricing of additives in S'pore is :( way too expensive :(

Will try to post some picture this weekend. Great reef....juz imagine your tank in a years' time with SPS branching all over :shock::shock::shock:

:yeah::yeah:
