I'm trying to move a few corals to a more suitable place according to their theoretical requirement. I'm also trying to find a good starting point to start increasing the intensity of my lights.
Please check out the picture and give me your opinions/suggestions. These are my main concerns, but all feedback and ideas are welcome!
- Galaxea. Currently in the sand bed. Should probably go to a higher spot, right?
- Torch. It does not like it is right now. I have no idea on where to place it. His polyps are thin and shriveled right now
- I moved from the stock Power Compact (24w actinic and 24w 10k daylight) to a AI Prime HD that I retrofitted on the hood (4" from the water surface). The current schedule is set to go at 30% during peak time and I'm trying to increase it slowly so I don't fry any corals. What's a good increment per day? I was also tempted to ask about the light schedule and color mix for my current inhabitants, but I know this is not the appropriate forum (but comments and ideas for those familiar with this specific setup are highly appreciated)
- One more bonus concern: my Banggai Cardinal is bidding most of the time (back left, near the bottom in pic). Is this normal?
Maybe they are ok where they are, but I'm not sure. If you spot anything else that should be corrected, please let me know!
