Interesting, I'm sure your abundance of available nutrients helps being in high PAR :p
That's something I have to think about, do I have enough nutrients and flow for more light?
I was just wondering what everyone's timing is when acclimating corals to new light, more specifically when adding lights/increasing PAR. I'm sure it depends on how big the lighting change is, but what's a general guideline, a couple weeks?
I love when people bring other expertise that can be used in the hobby like pottery, photography, plumbing, 3-d printing (I just realized that's a lot of p's) and more, very cool of you!
Because spraying RODI on corals is bad. On the podcast @Thales accidentally made a KCL spray solution with RODI instead of saltwater and it messed up some of his corals.
I remember hearing on one of the Reef Beef podcasts that you could use Potassium Chloride in a spray bottle instead and have it at ready instead of having to mix up a full batch of KCL dip. Has anyone done this before?
From my understanding, you use the same ratio of KCL to saltwater to make...
Initially it was because the MP-10s could run down as low as 1% power, where the gyres I looked at had low ends that were more like 40-50%. This was all before I put acros in the tank. I might experiment if I can find a good deal on some used ones.
Merlin Staff was under 260 PAR before all the...

Changed the skimmer to an IceCap K1-50 nano. The IOAOI skimmer pump had a stainless steel shaft that started to rust. I had a K1-50 that I sold to @Alexander1312 that I should have kept lol.
Got a couple 30" AI Blade Grows and the plan was to replace the Reefi Uno 2.0. I...
