🚨 STOP CHASING BRIGHT LIGHTS ON YOUR TANK 🚨
It has been on my mind since someone said nonchalantly, "The spectrum does nothing, sets the light as you want." Like, what's the deal with the "full spectrum" light then?
Let's be honest:
If "brighter = better", then why are your corals still stressed and eventually dying?
Cranking up white channel? ❌
Maxing out favorite channels? ❌
Corals actually want:
1. Royal Blue spectrum for photosynthesis
2. Violet spectrum for color and fluorescence
3. Stable spectrum for low stress and high growth
Too much UV/UVA = Hidden stress, bleach in days, bailout in weeks
High Red/Green = Algae favorite
"You don't need the brightest tank, you need a tank where your corals thrive, not just survive."
Officially think I’m going to have to look into a doser I feed twice a day with pellets and an auto feeder that spins 2 times each time. As well as mysis a few times a week. Have had to dose Neo Nitro 5 ml every 2 days to keep no3 above 1ppm. No water change in almost 2 weeks. Tested today no3 at 1.6 ppm and po4 at 0.04 ppm. Anyone have a cheaper reliable doser they like?
Anyone getting rid of/selling a cheap reef light near plano IL🙏🏼🙏🏼

Currently using redsea coral pro salt. Wanting to transition to a similar salt that doesn’t have a bunch of residue and can be stored better in my brute trash can for a few weeks. Any recommendations on salts?

So, I finally broke down and bought some Hanna Checkers, I've been in and out of the hobby since the late 80s and have always relied on titration tests but with my latest system I have not been able to nail down my parameters, I tested one number and my LFS with my own test kit tested a wildly different number. I know these test kits vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer and from user to user but my own back to back tests were all over the place. I know Hanna tests have variations but for me and my old ass eyes it's much easier to read a digital number display than try to distinguish between shades of pink, blue and green.
Dropped my collection cup due to a case of the butter fingers and broke it. Did my best to superglue it back together, now let's see if she holds. I can't find a replacement cup for this skimmer anywhere, I'll have to diy one if needed.
Does anybody know how to get rid of the extra blue light on iPhone?
