[jakebtc]

for your hardy species like mushrooms and zoo's and some softies not even
but for anemones and sps and some lps yeah

 

[8x8nhl]

so hen can i add shrrooms and softies

 

[jakebtc]

if you maintain calcium, and trace element levels you'll be ok after a good cycle
just don't rush it

also my skimmer is a asm g2

 

[jakebtc]

may be 1 or 2 over but with the sump adding water volume that will help a lil
hopefully most of them are small lol
and hopefully they dont grow too much :joy:

[jakebtc]

good stuff you know what color temp the bulbs are?

 

[8x8nhl]

14k

 

[8x8nhl]

is 10k the one that gives the most color and 20k the most growth?

 

[jakebtc]

other way 10K most growth and the most white
20k most blue and probably most likeable to many for appearance
I like 14k
