I'm running a tweaked version of this on my 3 radion pros.
SPS is all blowing up
Thanks Adam!
Adam, you are truly a give backpack kinda guy not scared to share your trade secrets. I know all of us appreciate that and your reputation as a coral vendors supersedes yourself. So thanks for keeping it real and giving back to the hobby. Battlecorals will be in my tank at some point soon. The tank move is done and new one set up and running. Corals are ****** and lost a couple fish, but that's part of the deal I guess. Here's a quick peak
Adam, I was going to PM you this question but I bet others want to know. I apologize if you've answered this before. First thing to be noticed about your schedule is that it is LONG. Any particular reason for that? Does it have to do with business hours? Do you notice better growth and color with longer photoperiods? My previous schedule was 12 hrs and it's the longest I've ever run, I've always done 8-10. I like the fact that I can enjoy the tank all day, especially on the weekends. My concern is the length may affect things negatively? I did raise my lights slightly and cut the intensity by half. By the time my frags arrive I will probably be around 80% with the goal being 100%. My tank is 19" deep and coral placement is all on the bottom or middle, so logic tells me I don't have to acclimate anything you send my way, LOL!!
Thanks....
yeah thats what it was doing for me when i tried it. some reason when i drag it into drop box it becomes a text file???? If you want to shoot mer your email ill be happy to email it to you.
really not sure what the deal is but if anybody has any tips I'm all ears lol.
So i ran the file in the first post and it loaded right up to ESL. as far as I can tell it should work ok.
here is a shot of ESL.
Scott,
Thanks a lot. I can say that growth has not been explosive under radions at all.in fact that is one of my few complaints. Some corals very clearly love them more than others. but i think that may even be placement related.
Been meaning to do some sort of a system info thread one of these days.
here is my cut and paste version of some specs though.
Ultimately my systems are pretty simple. I don't dose anything like vodka and the like or or employ any of the more modern methods for nutrient control. Like pellets and gfo ect Just a nice big skimmer and very strict attention to alk and to ro/di water purity. I test my alk daily without exception. and use only 0.0 tds water.
Ive never been one to panic at the sight of a little algae and see it as either fish food of just a natural part of the system. all my systems are nutrient rich and my corals have responded well to it.
Until last i was all halides but have swapped over one of my main tanks to radions and one to t5. Mostly to have a broader range of light source and see how different corals react
The t5s really seem to produce the best color but growth is slower
The prop tanks are 12 inches deep and just about everything is getting blasted
Here are some quick Params
Alk. Tested daily! 8-9
Calc 400-420
Mag 1200
Sg 1.026
Temp 77-79
