I have only got corals online and they sent a note saying do not drip. Before online I dripped everything for at least 45min. Im not saying either way just looking for what works for others. I have done both and havent lost anything yet.
Its all about lumms,par,watts or something like that.
MH gives off the most penitrating light followed by t-5s and I dont believe there are anymore are there.
Looking good!
How many pounds of rock do you have? Most people keep 1-2 pounds per gallons or water. Did you get your skimmer running? I think that was you wasnt it.
I dont think ro means phosphates and silica are removed. Maybe someone else can answer that for sure. I know I have read time after time that phosphates will read low after algae is present because it is consuming it. Thank God I have not had to fight that battle yet!
