    Enough LED light when using a LUX meter?

    After almost renting a apogee mq-200 light meter, I found out that the meter is also weak in measuring the 453 nm actinic light wave as well. OK, then just use your corals to tell you if you have enough light.

    Enough LED light when using a LUX meter?

    Is there an apogee PAR meter I can borrow in the Seattle area? I have an oxygen meter I can loan out for an apogee meter.

    aluminum foil

    WHAT Ca reactor to do?

    the reactor has not plugged up yet. My slight concern is that there is a lot of air bubbles flowing thru the chamber. Is the air bubbles mostly oxygen from the algae and the CO2 is being used up by the algae and the carbonate being broken down. CO2 has a higher solubility than oxygen in...

    WHAT Ca reactor to do?

    The reator is in a greenhouse. Should I remove and clean the algae out? Or cover it and block the sunlight and hopfully stop the algae. Is the calcium reator a good plankton reproducing machine as well? CO2 + light grows algae. at a pH of 6.6

    Treefan, Your lighting system will let you keep any kind of coral you want. I opted for my VHO lights v.s. MH because of the heat question in Yakima. Sound like you are doing a good job keeping the tempertures in check. I keep my temperture ~78 F I get my most temperture variation in the...

    Treefan, You have massive quantity of light. Do you think you will have any problem with high heat in Yakima's summer heat? You can keep any coral you want. What is your kelvin rating on your MH (metal halide) lights? Keep your soft corals low in the tank. How long do you keep your MH...
