Ya sorry stupid smartphone lol....javelin was supposed to be I have...and a instead of andand????? Was supposed to say a new wwc bounce from 2016 tax sale called an orenji....that's the jist of what meant instead of what the wanted to type lol....but ya can figure out why bio hazzard yellow bubbles seem like color being stripped off....and 1 sunkist never formed bubbles....the other sunkist seems like the bubbles are shrinking....the toxics don't seem to have much of bubbles at all....and orenji has red bubbles that seem to be doing same as bio hazzard...like red being stripped off bubbles....feed reef chili...fauna marin LPS grow and color pellets and fauna ultra ricordia and zoanthus....Dr gs LPS formula....and I think kg (German liquid 1 drop per 25 gallons) and use current orbit led lights....usually start at 20% blue 3% white....ramp up to no more than 75% Blue and 25% white...sometimes 100% blue...but never more than 25% white...whites never on more than 4 maybe 4 and a half hrs in 12 hr cycle...and lower blues by 25% every 4 hrs but run no more than 12 hrs a day...ahold set timers on light but have always just done manually....ahouldmd pellet feeding is 3 to 4 pellets every 3 to 4 days...and other foods every 2 to 3 days as it's a mixed tank with zoas...hammers...and more rhodactis shrooms and discosoma shrooms...and all seem to be happy....but dunno what I'm doing wrong as far as bounces? So maybe now I have correct spelling lol ya may be able to understand what I do light,food and water change schedules....and parameters run 440 cal 1330 mag 1.025-.026 salinity around 20 0r so nitrates forget phosphate lvls atm 0 nitrite 0 amonium...think I covered all basis...so that's why I'm confused as to where I'm going wrong with bounces or what I should do that I'm not....am going to upgrade to hydra hd 26s as soon as I can...which I hope will help....but if any ppl with bounce experience can guide me kd be forever greatful as we all know bounces aren't cheap lol....thanks in advance
Hmm I definitely dont like the idea of ramping up LED intensity. Thats just me though Ive never tried it. I would find a good intensity and never change it. Corals do very poorly under changing spectrum intensity. I like to do a good balanced 10-12k no higher sounds like your closer to 20k. Contrary to common reef knowledge, coral thrive much better under 10k or lower. Especially softies. I have many many bounces thriving and growing like weeds. I use T5s quad 6500k+440nm blues, low/med current, and no skimmer.
