I have a pair of before/after pics; October vs today. One is a Milka Stylo and the other is a green Birdsnest. The poly extension of the Stylo has decreased and the purple has lightened/paled (maybe to light blue or pink? Partially colorblind) yet it has growth.
The Green Birdsnest has growth, but it seems a little thin to me.
My Specs:
RSR 425
RSR LED 90s x3
Schedule 11hrs total first and last hour ramp up/down. 3hrs 15k, 3hrs 20k the remainder 23k. Intensity was at 60%, ramping to 70 over 6 weeks.
Salinity 1.025
Alk 8.3 (stable)
Calcium (to be determined via IPC. I have difficulties interpreting some colors.)
Mag 1320
Phos 0.03
Nitrate (It was at 0 for a while. I’m feeding more. It’s now 2-3)
What do you think? Too high in the tank? Nutrients too low?
