| Neon dottyback | Re: Vanquish's 250g Reef Tank... Wats the height of your tank?? My lights are about 14 inches from the water surface and the tank is 27inches deep, my rics close to the sandbed have bleached and so did a few of my SPS corals that are placed higher, hence I had to have them moved downwards.... My scolymias have also bleached... I'm using DE bulbs |

| Regular Guy Moderator  | Re: Vanquish's 250g Reef Tank... I would slowly reduce the photo period to between 7 and 8 hours max over the next month or so.

| Hey!Its not my fault | Re: Vanquish's 250g Reef Tank... Its kinda hard to explain but I have 6 total bulbs and 3 come on at 11:00 am and go off at 4:00 pm,,, the other set of 3 come on at 12:00(noon ) and go off at 5:00 pm... So the actual time of all 6 on at once is 12:00(noon) till 4 pm. So I would agree with Craig to reduce the photo period...

| Neon dottyback | Re: Vanquish's 250g Reef Tank... Have already reduced the photoperiod, used to be 8 hours 3x250W + 4 hours 2x250W..... now it's 8 hours 3x250W + 2 hours 2x250W.... reduction of 2 hours actually, but am still observing the corals.... At the same time, have shifted the corals and rics that have bleached to areas with lesser lights, and they are recovering... will be reverting the photo-period once my algae bloom is over... |

| Neon dottyback | Re: Vanquish's 250g Reef Tank... A recent addition... hoping that it would turn out to be a nice scrolling green cabbage!!   One of my favourite SPS... yellow loripes, have grown a little since I got it....  Last edited by Vanquish : 04-02-2006 at 10:21 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

| The Wand Geek was here. ;)   | Re: Vanquish's 250g Reef Tank... Nice corals!! Hummm... my dark red brain has faded a lot since I got it. Eventhough it is on the bottom, I wonder if it too is bleaching due to my MH.......

| The Wand Geek was here. ;) | Re: Vanquish's 250g Reef Tank... Beautiful corals!! Thanks for sharing Thanks... I'll shade it a bit. The TM-PR hasn't been delivered yet  .... seems they updated the tracking "estimated date of arrival" to Tuesday. But for $9.98 shipping.. I won't complain!

Report back on the condition of your brain coral after shading!!!!! You'll love the TM-PR... but note the Mg deficiency that I've mentioned in your thread... you may wanna have it tested... Cheers! A recent tank pic... over-exposed, but thats the best I can do...  Last edited by Vanquish : 04-02-2006 at 10:51 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | |
