It really does look like that on camera but to the eye it has color all the way up to the tip, though slightly more pale. Today is 13 days later and they still look pretty good, so fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks for looking out 🤙
I definitely run my lights with a good about of white, so it should look great when settled in. I've heard also increasing the green chanel can help produce more yellow as well. Not sure if that's just a visual thing or if it helps the coral produce more yellow pigment.
Besides feeding foods lower in phosphate (frozen foods have much less than pellets or flakes) and doing occasional water changes, I've run Phosban and most phosphate removers seem keep up with a fairly modest level of input. I have also heard that Kalkwasser has a phosphate/phosphorous (not sure which or maybe both) lowering effect. Its probably small, but would explain my phosphate not rising much after I hadn't run phosban in a while.
@@xhongxina286 The only reason I'm staring sodium nitrate is because I'm struggling to get my nutrients up after having carbon dosed the end of last year. Normally I would just run the skimmer to keep the nutrients balanced, let the refugium chaeto do its thing and occasionally refresh my phosban if needed. Especially with occasional water changes, you could remove the need for phosphate remover if you input is low.
Good question! The video I'm working on right now goes over that very topic. At the top of my scape is around 80-90 and sandbed is roughly 50-60. That's straight down from the center, it will obviously be less at the sides. I definitely have room to adjust them brighter, I just wanted to wait until I had a PAR meter until I made any changes since everything was doing okay at the current levels.
Pretty! I like the green/purple guy, to me he looks like an alien sci-fi tower 👽
Speaking of aliens, a small mushroom-only tank would be pretty cool, could look like an apocalyptic alien wasteland. 👽 🍄
you remind me of daemon targaryen with your hair do and knife gestures
amazing video!
That made my evening 😆 👏👏👏
much love from South africa , love your tank . never stop posting !!
Thanks man! Love the support!! 🤙
Congrats on the Miagi tort, it's a great one! Acropora are like eating potato chips. Good luck just stopping there! :)
Great analogy! 😂
Red Dragon is pretty easy, certainly for a smooth skin acro. Those tips look like they arrived peeling though.

Nice sizes. The yellow fiji one will look green under blues. And should look yellow under white lighting.

What do you do to keep phosphates in check with the nitrates going up

@@Colton_Lee man lower phosphate foods phosphate media and sodium nitrate dosing that’s seems like a lot keep eye on it

What are your PAR values?
