SRC Member reefer guy Posted November 16, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 16, 2004 thanks guys..... actually i dont know how high is my nutrient level, although i do water changes every two weeks religiously, clean my protein skimmer every 3 days, and surprisingly my corals are colouring up good... with regards to feeding, i have 10 anthias, feeding average 3 cubes of brine shrimp daily, sometimes flakes as well.... guess im lucky to have such good colouration even w excessive feeding....

SRC Member reefer guy Posted November 16, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 16, 2004 nothing really fancy or extraordinary...... 2 x 250w mh 10,000k and 1 x 400w mh 10,000k of lighting..... water is just straight from ro/di using coral life salt ( which all of us are aware of that carries po4 and nitrate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV-65 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Bro, my guess is that the 900W of MH did alot of good for your SPS... would u agree? If yes, I'm gonna blast my SPS!!

How about those mature sps gurus? Does your changes within 4 weeks?? i dont really keep close track and if u often stare at ur tank u could actually see less changes not unless u compare it thru past n present pics..... my bet is about a month....

SRC Member reefer guy Posted November 23, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 23, 2004 how many percent you change the water every two weeks ? not sure how much water in terms of gallons but roughly about 20% of water, 6 pails.....

SRC Member minsmarine Posted November 24, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 24, 2004 Whoo such a good success, Keep it up bro.
