Hey Matt. Do you dose any trace elements? Or are you just getting your trace elements with water changes ? Also, if you’re just doing water changes how much water and how often do you do water changes for your 75 gallon SPS tank? Thanks for sharing, i always look forward to watching your vids.
I dose Seachem Reef Fusion 2 part. It has some trace elements in it with the calcium part, but I don’t test or try to correct trace elements. I just do a 40% water change once every 3-4 weeks.
My Kessils never go above 55% intensity. They go down to 30% when the Reefbrite fixture is on, and at 100% for color (white). I have the violets at 100% and some red and green during peak period. When the Reefbrites are off the Kessils ramp to blues and intensity goes to 55% then down to 0% for the night. Opposite of that in the morning. Peak par is only 280 ish during the day. Basically my Kessil graph looks like an “M”.
@Reefer_Matt nice I’m running 2 on a 40 breeder with t5 with violet matching intensity at 20-30-15-10 and t5 on for 8 hours but I don’t know what my par is lol
Great video alk is a big deal I believe nitrates should be between 5 and 20 also I try not to allow my alkalinity to drop below 8 and I keep it between 8.5 to 9 also I do a 15 percent water change instead of 10 percent
Great video Matt!!
Thank you!

Love your choice of lighting 👌😎
Thank you! Yeah, my old reefing mentor had Kessils and I decided to use them ever since.
Alot of good information, thank you!
Great video
Thank you!
Few more months and I want to start a sps tank. Thanks for all the info
Awesome! I have plenty starter sps you can have for free.
@ awesome thank you! I’ll let you know when I’m ready
Great video bro! Tank is looking a treat. That Walt Disney is huge. I just got a frag online, it’s beautiful.
Thanks! It’s a slow grower but one of my favs. I hope yours does good too! Happy Reefing!
Another great video bud
Thank you!
Awesome one Matt 🤙🏽 some of those frags are gorgeous 😍
Time is definitely a good one. Also Stability
Stay Salty 🤙🏽 Yeeewwww
Thanks Steve!

Whats that suuuuuper-red thing on the right? Leptoseris?
Not sure which coral you mean, but yes, I do have a red and orange lepto in the tank. Also monti cap and monti setosa. Thanks for checking it out!
@Reefer_Matt must be the lepto then. Awesome looking, never seen this kind in germany. 99% orange here 😭
What are your kessil settings
My Kessils never go above 55% intensity. They go down to 30% when the Reefbrite fixture is on, and at 100% for color (white). I have the violets at 100% and some red and green during peak period.

Luckily they have cheaper options for par meters now. I saw some threads on R2R discussing some of them. Maybe they are worth a try?

Thanks! Yeah, I’ve been having some alk swings in my frag tank, and they are definitely letting me know that they aren’t happy about it.
