I put 5-6 in my refugium and within a few days they are turning white. Any ideas why?

Sorry, my corals only smoke cigars.

Hi Sweater, Thanks again for your input. So far the 75% for 6 hours is being accepted well. I'll watch it closely. I'm allowed 7 different time settings with these lights, but I'll look at creating a slower progression. I will say that the lights are awesome and the growth is noticeable in just...

Hi Sweatervest, When I'm done explaining, hopefully, at the bottom of this post you'll see my lighting schedule with percentages of intensity. I've had the Acan's for a few months now and have slowly built up to my current levels. I've experienced NO coral burn and everyone seems very happy...

Thanks so much for your reply. It is helpful. The Acans I have use three channels white, blue (moon), and colors (red,green,yellow and I believe orange). When I get home I'll post my current schedule. We can compare. Thanks again.

Really ?? No one with full spectrum LED's that wants to share their light timing and intensity schedule ?

Just got the Acan 600 series LED's. They have white, blue and color. Has anyone perfected a schedule yet? I have 7 different time adjustments as well as 0-100% settings for all 3 colors (white, color and blue).

Each of those test kits are in the $30-35 range, but as I said, if you are not going to test don't dose.

My 2 cents- You need to test for alk and phos. Why 3 drops of lugols so often. Do you test for it ? what are your levels? If the problem began when you changed lighting it just my be that they are in a period of adjustment. I never believed in dosing without testing.

Good thought. I use about a gallon a day. My idea was to keep the 5 gal. next to my 30 gallon in the basement. Pump from the 5 in case of a mishap. I'm trying to avoid bringing up a gallon of water every day. That way I could just keep the 5 filled from the 30 which is right next to it. A pump...

Thanks for all the ideas. Putting the sump in the basement presents another problem-pumping all the way back up to display tank. I'm trying to find an inexpensive external pump with a 8-10' head. I will also not connect it to anything more than a 5 gallon pail even though the ATO I'm considering...

I Make My Water In The Basement And Store It In A 35Gal. Container. No Room To Keep It Upstairs. Sump And Refugium Are Under Display tank.

considering the JBJ system. Should I be looking at a submersible pump or a "little giant" type. I need to move the water from the basement to the first floor sump ( approx 10-12'). Can this be done without spending a gill and a fin?-lol Thanks in advance, Art

I did mucho research on LED's for my 55 reef. I settled on the Acan Lighting 600PA-18's. I got 2 of them at 499 each. The installation will be tomorrow and I'll report back with the results. I'm going to run them at 50%-75%-then 100% over a 3 week period to get everything used to them. They have...

Hello, I've done some research but I thought I'd come to the experts. I'm going to be upgrading my T5 lighting to LED. It's a 55 gallon Reef with a few small fish (so people stop asking if all of my fish died). I love the idea of multi-color LED's (not just blue and white). I want it to be...

Red Sea Aptasia X seems to have done a very good job. The only problem is the ones that are behind the rock that I can't see. What I WAS able to get should cut down the population a lot. Thanks

Having trouble keeping up with it. Kalk paste works but doesn't iradicate it enough. It keeps spreading. Peppermint's aren't doing the job they are supposed to. Any suggestions? Home remedies? Ghostbusters? I'll try anything. Thanks in advance, Art

I keep a 30 gallon tub of RO/DI at all times as well as a 5 gallon pail of ready to go salt water for my weekly W/C on my 55. When I change water I mix another batch for next week. I run powerheads 24/7 in both. Probably not necessary but there's something about stagnant water that bothers me.
