Was debating whether or not to leave it grow for several weeks till its thick?

I clean it every friday but its a fresh screen n not much growth. lights are on it from 6pm till 12pm. :/

Jus threw my internal skimmer back in And also I run a makeshift algae scrubber

Get better bulbs and test kits. How old is this setup? I've done EBay frags, they're always brown. The sellers will claim that they "browned out in shipping" but it takes longer than that. They can make a come back as long as they haven't turned white or shed their skin. What types of SPS did...

So tell me about this AI VEGA

So what would be your suggestion for a 20 gal tank such as mine. I wanna be able to grow anything.. I was looking at a cheap MH fixture on ebay that looked worth it to be a first timer. 18" 1x150W. 14K HQI + 2 14W t5.. or a 24" 1x 250W 15K HQI + 4x24 w t5

Ok will do. actually upgrading to a 120W LED fixture by the end of this month.. would 16K @ 120W sustain any kind of SPS?

I feed a few flakes 1-2 times a day. I use Reef crystals for water changes. the frags were not brown when I got them in, they lost color during shipping. all my tests are API (upgrading soon to all Hanna Checker) and my Alkalinity test is Tropic Marin. I do not have a phos or mag test. my temp...

and this dendro has yet to poke his head out. added it 2 weeks ago!

Assuming your problem is too much CO2, that is...

airstones are bad in saltwater. maybe just stick the tubing in your tank for large bubbles. also increase your circulation ; aim your pumps toward the surface.

I can wait a bit still. only time sensitive subject is I've got my skimmer sold to a guy so I can downgrade to a smaller one and run the scrubber together

nope. haven't gotten one yet.

Bump

2 cyphastrea 1 Dendrophyllia 1 Acro plana 1 zoa 1 Favia suggested placement would be appreciated. these arr all in a 20 tall

If I'm buying frags from a seller that uses 400W MH and I use 4x39W T5 light light acclimation isn't neccessary?? so basically I can jus place them in their permanent location and jus let them go? no adjusting photo period or anything??
