The Acro colours are amazing under the new lighting and growing well. Encrusting Montis I got brown and presumed dead are turning blue! Really cool. I'm sure the Reef X-Tra-X cubes are helping quite a bit along with the lighting. Nutrient levels are quite low in the tank so a dark pink Hystrix is lumo pink now
So I did some maintenance on the tank today. Its very stable i added some Calcium and toped up the orca bio-cubes, and cleaned the skimmer and toped up the ATO.
Test results show NO3 - 1ppm and po4 - 0.16ppm using red sea test kits also added orca reef x-trax cubes for amino acids to help with coral growth.
It seems my approach of K.I.S.S. as @dallasg recommends is working. everything on this tank is simple and basic yet the corals look better than in the main tank.
looking to also upgrade some of the LED's at the back left corner of the tank. I will be doing a DIY project using locally sourced 10w leds. i will update as and when i can
