Reefer XL425 - Mitras lx7204 - settings :/

[apfolmer]

I have been reefing for 17 years, and mu current setup is 4 yesrs Old.

Reefer Xl425
Mitras lx 7204 - x3
Nero5 - x2
Royal Exclusive double cone Skimmer
Rollerfilter


- always run High salt 1.026+

Earlier setup with lx6100/6200 my sps was Crazy growing and all was Great.

With my current setup, i am constant struggeling to make the sps polyp Come out.
My Lps are going good, Acans, torches, zoas etc grows Great.

It seems like my sps are In a State, with little or No polypExpansion - which i have never tried before, with my lx6100/6200 lamps.

My lamps are, because i want low light spill into livingroom, mounted 25cm over water.
Powermanagement is set to 100% on all channels
Output is set to 100% In energy managment.

In multichannelsetup the power is set to 60% only
And the sliders are giving 55% poweroutput totally from 11-21 every day
Plus 1 hour ramp up/Down

Lamp settings In the 10hour period is

Blue 100%
Royal 100%
Cool White 20%
Blue White 40%
Green 28%
Red 16%
Sky White 20%
UV 75%
HV 100%

My concern was that i burned the Lps - and Thats the Reason for the low output totally.

My parameters are normally run by manually test
Kh 7,5-8
Ca 420-450
Mg 1300-1400
Po4 0.02-0.04
No3 3-5

All for Reef is used - switched from 3 part balling about 1 Year ago.
And without any difference.

As mentioned - my many years of reefing have lerned me alot, But this setup Im very **********, why sos dont trive like the earlier setups.

I would change the settings as follows.
Multichannel setup 80%
Cold white 100%
Blue white 80%
Red 30%
Sky white 50%
HV 75%
Use the acclimatization for the changeover
So you have a little less energetic light, but more "total brightness".
If it is too bright, reduce the value in the multichannel setup
