Hi I brought a coral package from my LFS and hoping to get some information from more experienced reefer. I'm new to saltwater but understand the chemistry that is required to keep corals.
Need help with the names of the corals
Is placements for each coral okay?
Is my lowerheads position properly?
Since I'm making this post, hoping to get some tips for transferring tank. I need to move my tank from downstairs to upstairs so I brought a red sea max 130d to help with the corals transport. Planning to setting up the red sea upstairs and get it ready for my corals and fish so I can move the 75 gallon tank upstairs and cycle again.
Is there a fast way to shorten the cycle process?
My set up
75 gallon
Eshopp pf1000 overflow
Eshopp sump rs200
Coralife 65gallon super skimmer ( ordering a larger skimmer when I move my tank upstairs )
2 165w vipersprectra led light ( Amazon )
2 dsunj led spectrum lights ( eBay )
My bio pellet reactors arriving soon from innovated marine
Ordering 2 more media reactors from two little fishes
Setting up a 36 gallon bow front refuigium ( if any tips how to set up s large refug would help a lot such as how should I fill the tank and what' needed to maximize the use of it )
Fluval fx5 canister
Using fluval sp2 for refug return and jabeo 5000 for sump return
Using jabeo wp55 set at lowest
Fluval cp4 and twin head wavemaker from Amazon.
Using 1 inch return pvc
I think around 75-90 lbs of live rocks and 60 lbs of live sand used
I think I got everything listed.
Blue lights comes on at 7am - 7pm
White lights comes on at 9am - 5pm
Set at 45% blue and 20% white because I just got the sps yesterday, slowly increasing each day by 10% for blue till 70-80% blue and 5% each day for white till 35-40%. Does that sound right? Lights are about 5-6 inch from water
