SPS with T5


Recommended Posts

Hmmm...I used to keep acro at 27-28 degrees celcius. Occassionally reaching 29 degrees. The important thing is to have ample levels of dissolved oxygen via proper skimming and low bioload. Wastes break down much faster in warmer temperatures so it would make sense to keep your bioload much lower in higher temperatures. You should not save on the protein skimmer if your water temperatures are high. Buy the best you think you can afford as chemical & biological reactions are accelerated by high temperatures.

Always something more important than fish.

All apologies if this sounds stupid.

If higher temp accelerates chemical & biological rxn; isn't this a good thing? Does it mean faster breakdown of organic waste to harmless gases? (nnr).

hi, sorry if i want put some LFS at my tank with my T5, is it good ?

you mean LS not LFS yes? don't think you want to put a whole fish shop into your tank :lol:

T5s are ok for normal livestock. Lighting is not really an issue for anything but corals and plants.

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".

Metabolic activity will increase across the board.

There is no way to just heat up the sandbed or LR where bacteria is and getting them to speed up reproduction & processing of nutrients and not heat up the surrounding waters where other more heat-sensitive livestock like corals and fish are.

Ammonia toxicity also increases with increased temperatures.
