Every thread I've ever read on the 160 says to not hit 100 and to have it peak and ramp up. You're the first person to tell me otherwise .. I feel so confused

What do you think for now ?

They seem happy just not growing.. hey I'll raise the intensity to 70 peak right now and monitor closely this weekend

The 34 Deep blue or? Anyone else feel that this is okay?

I am doing weekly water changes - sometimes bi-weekly.

Are you sure raising from 35% intensity to 100% over 3 days is okay?? That's almost tripling the intensity. I have a refugium and a light ready to go, I may get chaeto from absolutely fish tonight.. is that trusted enough? I will be replacing a turbo snail that passed away 1.5 weeks ago...

What ICP test do you recommend? You don't think I should add some more CUC members? snails? in the meantime? Should I continue to raise my lights intensity 10% per week? Should I get some chaeto to put into my fuge to get some nutrient export going?

I am going no faster than my smaller AIO tank - and that tank is (knock on wood) doing great. I went so incredibly slow with the frag tank. Let it cycle for 2 months without touching it.. I than added CUC waited another month and than added fish & corals. I think algae came in on a frag and...

Not even to help eat algae ? Or add more CUC? does anyone have a PAR meter to rent ?

Not quite yet. I keep scrubbing which doesn't help

I think I'll begin with Increasing intensity and adding another fish

If I could connect the two I would they're 20 feet away horizontally and 10 vertically - plus I'm moving out of my parents house sooner than later

I have rock and I have enough marine pure spheres to equal I think 150 gallon tank. I do not have sand as I figured it would be easier to manage. I know it's gonna be a struggle and yes the tank is six months old... My main tank is just breaching a year. My skimmer is a ice cap k1-100 it's...

1. What is your magnesium - I need to get a mg tester 2. How many hours are your lights on. - lights are on at 9:30am and ramp up to 45% intensity and stay for several hours and ramp down to off at 9:30pm. I didn't increase or decrease photo period. Just began to Increase intensity 3. are...

Right the algae is just eating the nitrates.

I truly don't know if I have zero nitrates & need to dose nitrates or if the algae is eating the nitrates in the tank... I think another fish or two will help but I don't want to overpopulate my frag tank... on the other hand though I have an oversized skimmer... so maybe it's time to throw...

Howdy, I am struggling with my frag tank... my display tank (separate system) which is more mixed reef (fish & coral) balances itself better. So here goes. My frag tank is a 34 deep blue with a 15ish gallon sump. I run (2) kessil A160we tuna blue's. The tank started minimal cycled & than...

Does anyone have a PAR meter northern jersey that either wants to lend it to me or swing by and test my tanks?? I think I need to adjust my lights but just don't know how much

I was looking at those, but the BRS seemed to have higher reviews for single channel

What's your reccomendation
