For my testing I'm using:Lack of food and light. At minimum, moderate light and water flow.
What test kits are you using ?
Salifert:
- Calcium
- Magnesium
Hannah:
- Alkalinity
Red Sea:
- Phosphate
- Nitrate
Refractometer:
- Salinity
Milkwaukee PH600:
- pH levels (though I leave in it the tank for like 1 minute for it to converge to a singular value!)
Feeding:
I've been feeding the PE Mysis shrimp daily ( ~1/2 size of pinky fingernail ) to the tank with Reef roids 2x a week!
Question:
So here is another question I have about increasing lighting levels to the tank! I've read that it's recommended to increase the levels around ~5% a week to the tank to not blast the corals with higher PAR. But since I can control individual light types (Royal Blue, Cool Blue, Violet, White, etc.) does that mean I should increase for example...
Increasing each by 5%
Royal Blue 10% -> 15%
Cool Blue 10% -> 15%
Violet 10% -> 15%
or
Increase the total by 5% ( Just for example )
Royal Blue 10% -> 11.667%
Cool Blue 10% -> 11.667%
Violet 10% -> 11.667%
Thanks for the help!!
