normally i ask for water parameters and par.

mid end sps = temp acclimate, dip, put on frag rack
high end sps = temp accilmate, water acclimate, dip, put on frag rack

It is currently sitting in about 280 par. What par would you start it at and how fast would you raise it?
Par in my tank ranges 80 -110 to 350 in the center.

for me, i would put it where it was at par wise - observe for a week or two and then put it where you want it to observe for another week and them make it its final spot.

One think to note, every tank will be different in how much par a coral can take. Coral can take more light at higher nutrients.

Totally agreed. Tidal and I are running similar nutrients, except my nitrates are a tad lower at 4

Going to start at a little under 200 par.for the first 48 hours I think.

I must have hit something wrong. Not sure how this one message split into a reply like that.

Hopefully a good sign, but after acclimation and dip the polyps on the frag we’re out within 20 minutes of hitting the water. Please excuse the particulates, just broadcasted some reef chili. I know it’s nothing big just excited.


Minute 1

Minute 20

Nice frag that has some nice color. Best of luck and keep us posted.

I remember the good old days where 200 par would be something you only growth zoanthids and mushrooms in, need those big heaters that blast out at least 500 micromols to keep SPS colored up properly!

My lil guy is getting 350-400 par finally showing some purple and encrusting nicely

 

[scruztaylor]

you guys know of anyone in the Bay Area that sells frags?

I'd say me... but I've been really slow these days at finding time to get my act together due to work, etc.

That said, the buy, sale, trade area here is only open to supporting members... consider joining. It'll prove itself worthwhile!
