Yea still early in my tank just got coral and fish all transfer over not long ago and the first water change will be this weekend
Well if 8 t5 bulbs and 2 blue led supplements wasnt enough I added a 3rd blue led because the zoas on the right side said they like all the light they can get....So I said you got it! I will test the par tomorrow since I myself am curious even though I most likely wont change anything since the corals are growing and loving life!
Should do an update on my water quality but I have yet to check it since day one so my apex log charts are empty......maybe I need the trident if that unicorn ever gets released or should I get a reefbot? Probably going to be the same price and I know I'll need it eventually!
Well I wont get a trident strictly due to the cost of maintenance and reagents. Just not worth the hassle over time. I've narrowed it to reefbot or alktronic because let's be honest alk is the top dog to test and even if alktronic only tests alk that's the most important to monitor frequently!
You can't do just once a day it has to be 4 times for ALK and 2 Ca minimum. So if what Neptune said is correct its 600 for the unit 44 every 2 month and needs calibrating every year (18months) for 200 if Neptune does it. So just calibrating and reagent cost for 2 years is 728 which is a lot. In my opinion
Lol I cut it out of a piece of plexiglass. Made the rim 3/4 inch wide. If I make another I would probably do 1” the material is 1/4 thick. I bought the screen off amazon. I glued the screen to the underside of the plexiglass. I use a glue we use at where I work it is made for glueing screens. It has a spray applicator that hardens the glue almost instantly. I still have to make me 3 more for the 220 lol
Clearview lids for a 75 gallon are 175 lol but like I said mine aren’t as pretty as theirs but a lot cheaper lol
Got the par meter and wanted to see what the daylight par was in the tank and I would say it's not bad what do y'all think?
