Hello Peeps,
This 50 gallon Nem tank has been up for a little over a year. There are about 28 Nems in this tank and all doing pretty well. However I have only had 3 or 4 splits so far. All Nems look healthy and water quality is pretty good. Due to high load I change about 50% of the water every 2-3 weeks. Temp is 78.5 (was told this helps for coralline) and salinity at 1.026. Running carbon and phosban and skim wet. Have 2 MP-10's running at 70%. Vectra M-1 pump running at 33%. Feeding them table shrimp every 3-4 days and each and every one eats well. I tried Reef Roids but this created a breakout of green hair algea so that was stopped. Lighting is AI Hydra 26 and run 12 hours blue ramping up over 5 hours to 65%, full intensity for 2 hours and back down for 5. I have my whites on same schedule but up to 20%. I don't use green, red or UV. All settings I am using were simple guesses from a beginning Reefer. Cant seem to find much about AI's and anemones however what I am using is pretty good so far. Wondering what suggestions you guys have in making this tank more successful in any of the areas mentioned above.
