Tank is a year old, I have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrates, salinity is 1.023, I have two box LEDs. I havent done a water change in about 2 weeks so thats the first thing i’ll do.
Are these the big rectangle black box leds? They are very powerful and can "sunburn" your nem. How do you have them set?
I was to the understanding the black boxes are lower wattage and not quite enough compared to let’s say radions .
I've owned and worked on 4 different brands of black boxes over the years. They use 3w leds just like the big name fixtures and are capable of putting out way too much light for corals and nems in a standard 24" deep tank.
Wow ...
They'll grow corals just as good as any led fixture. People just don't like them because they don't have the big name brand or all of the bells and whistles.
The nem has seemed to settle into the spot I put him in after he detached, he has gotten a little fuller during the day but at night he shrivels up which is normal.
I’ve got them on 40% white 60% blue so they aren’t as powerful as they can be. I mainly did this to combat some algae and it has died down. I was going to slowly ramp them up again but that doesn’t seem like the best course of action at the moment.
This sounds like a good idea, I’ll start doing both.
