Thanks! Wanna plumb a frag or fuge tank to my setup. The fuge in the sump is pretty small =

Looking good. Let's see.... your tank is a about 3 months old..... I might be concerned about the large list of coral you are thinking about getting.... If it were me I'd start with a few pieces and monitor their well being as well as impact to your water parameters before diving in but I am trying to be more cautious these days but thats just me. just a thought.

Yea....I was just exicted that's all. But seeing I have an AI sol would also bring problems too....

 

[Coral reefer]

Problems like...?

 

[bayarea49]

If you get corals that have been under t5s or mh they really don't like the switch of leds at first......I have 4 sps that under gone the switch from 250w mh to leds and they didn't like it.......they bleached some parts but they seem to be recovering. I started out at 50% which I guess was to much par....but went down to 30 and ramped it up 2% everyday....guess its not problems but they can be picky...

I started out at 25% and worked my way up. I keep an AI Sol in my sump running at 40% just to acclimate corals for the display, takes about a week.

 

[bayarea49]

I've had the fixture for 2 1/2 weeks and now its at 50w 70b 80rb

 

[h20player101]

I just took it really slow all the way up, running at 95% at peek for about 2 hours now. Anything aquacultured seems to do ok, but the wild colonies just get trashed, even with a ton of flow. Kinda at the point were I just don't buy wild, especially when frags can grow in tank with the correct growth to match the flow & light pattern.
