I have a BC29 that i recently retrofitted with a kit from Steves Leds. Awesome by the way. 18 3watt royal blue and 10 3watt whites. Lots of light. i've had the tank up and running for about 6 months. I just did the retrofit 2 months ago. I dont have any kind of controller so i have my lights on a timer right now they come on at 10am and shut off at 9pm is that too long? i have them running at about 80% and everything seems pretty happy. although i do have quite a bit of algea on the sand ever since i put the leds on. Here is a list of the corals i currenly have...
30lbs LR
30LBS LS
Feather Duster
Birdsnest
Red Cap Monti
Super Natural Monti
Green Poliserapora
Blue Corcea Clam
Leather Coral
Green Star Polyp
Some sort of a green Polyp that are about the size of a nickle?
Iron Man Mushroom. (Orange Mushroom) it wasnt doing well so i put it in a shaded area last night.
RBTA (NEW) Not sure if its very happy. possibly added too soon? ive had it for about 2 weeks. its about the size of a baseball. ive been feeding it chopped up silversides once a day. but for the past two days it seems to be shrivled up for most of the day. but still hanging on to the rock.
Some of these are probly mispelled sorry.
All of my water parameters seem pretty stable. im trying to solve the algea problem. is 11hours to loag to run my lights. when im home a usually tone down the whites at baout 7pm. any advice would be much appreciated.
sorry for the randomness of this question. too much redbull
