I live in the IE where it regularly gets 105-110 out, so I leave the ac set at 77. Electricity bill still hits $400 in the summer months, so i think my hands may be tied on running LEDs until i upgrade to solar and a new AC.
The doomsday looks awful but so does my Oregon tort i got elsewhere. My nutrients are still super low since i only have 4 fish in a tank with 220gl total volume. The cookie monster look alike still looks good along with all of my other sps. Bringing nutrients up is not something I am used to doing intentionally since i have always have had such heavily fish stocked tanks in the past. So you will need to put me back at the top of the list for the next round of doomsday, maleficent and Oregon tort frags lol
I am realizing how much nutrients play a part in color an PE. Current numbers are-
Salt- 1.025
Alk- 8.2
Cal- 420
Mg- 1350
Phos- .03
Nitrate- 2-10 (estimated) i say this broad because i may be colorblind.. I can’t read these kits to save my life. Waiting for the Hanna High range kits to be restocked.
I will have a pintail wrasse, flame hawk, gem tang and purple tang coming out of qt next month, so that should help with the nutrients a bit because currently there is only a clown, yellow corris, small blue tang and a small sailfin in the tank.
