did you check you calcium after the snowstorm?

 

[m.miller1547]

Yes, very high. 600... I'm hoping to lower this number with different substrate and salt

Glad to hear everything is working out...lets see a pic of the new additions.

The frogspawn is 5 in wide. Payed only ten buck as well as the green ric.

awesome frags bro

 

[m.miller1547]

I learned a bit about the snowstorm. Simple put; my calcium was way too high.

 

[Smitty]

Very nice frags bro...congrats.

After waterchange my cal dropped around 550. My alk is perfect and ph is at 8.3.

I just finished ordering my LEDs.
Heres what my setup will be.

Typhon controller w/ two meanwell 48p
2 cree 3ups with two royal blues and one neutral white.
6 xr-e rb
6 xp-g r5
Totalling 18 LEDs

5.9 in by 12 in heatsink

I'm gonna DIY an acylic housing. Should I post pics and updates here or start a DIY thread?

 

[m.miller1547]

Btw. I used ledgroupbuy.com to order LEDs. They are the cheapest option I've found. Rapidled is nice, but they stopped carrying 5.9in heatsinks.

Is this algae from the nitrate I had last week. I did 50% waterchange. It read less than .1 ???? I'm gonna lower my light cycle two hours for a few weeks. See what happens. I use reef crystals and distilled water from jewel.


As seen in the first photo my filterpads are four days old. The light does poor off into sump area

Just a quick pic. The new hammer is from Youngreef. It looks really nice up next to my frogspawn.

 

[Smitty]

Very nice bro.
