Just a update on my 70 gal cube so far...

FastandCurious · Aug 22, 2020

Everything and everyone is going swimmingly so far. My tank is still a work in progress as it is only a cpl months old (hence the fake coral decor, for now ;-) But I do hope to one day be able to show off my *real* corals at some point. Since fish were doing pretty good, I added a cpl frags but they are taking their sweet time opening lol. Still moving things around here and there and seeing what feeding and light schedules work but I'm happy with the progress so far. Any tips on getting corals to open up (like maybe dosing calcium I heard?) or does anyone know how many watts they should be getting a day? I have a AI prime 16 in there and it's 24"x24" cube. But now that I have added some coral I know they need different lighting than just fish. Also is the blue light really better for them too? Thanks ahead for any and all responses.

Looking forward to watching the build grow! As for lighting with the corals I would use the AI app and add a preset.. I recommend using the WWC AB+ program for lighting. Overall really nice look and can help make corals pop.

Fish look great!

Id maintain just water changes to maintain parameters for now, but keep in mind testing helps all!

Thank you!!
I'm still trying to figure this AI app out. I have the one that connects to Bluetooth which can be annoying (I heard there are others that connect to WiFi) but I was trying to find where the preset settings are and how to set them or change them. I understand the app enough to set the lights and change color but that's about it lol. I'm gonna look more into it tho!

Lol well I started my cycling at end of May and added fish at end of June so all in all I'd say maybe around about 3 months-ish‍

You can add preset schedules that are already created onto your device. I recommend the WWC AB+ program!
