Your tank fellows are looking great man, I have the same light on a 20 nuvo and some how have bleached many corals and nems i just cannot wrap my head at you telling us the blues are at 100, i keep mine at 45% and 10 for whites the light is as high as it can get and i get around 100 par on top of the rock at peak time.
I have a 20 gallon.... 2 ft long, 17 inches tall. The lights are 9 inches above the water surface. I have 2 Nicrew 50 lights on my tank..... 100 blue and 50 whites. I get about 230/240 high up and 80-100 at the bottom. I have mostly lps, some easy SPS and some softies.
@XIPUFFIX it is for sure cheaper to use kalk. However, the end result is to keep alk calcium stable. So whatever method you decide is easier. Both are easy to use.
Tank looks great! Just started cycling my first evo 13.5
@@7h0m4s you got this. Be patient and enjoy every step of the process
Tank is awesome! I remember when they used to tell us minimum for corals was a 100 gallon with a sump SMH
@joshadam5518 that old school mindset still lingers in the hobby. It's just not true. The Nanos are much easier to care for, in my opinion.
Great looking tank makes me want to get back into reef keeping.
@@Xmasia1 I think it's time !
Thanks for the updated ! Everything is looking really good. BTW what heater are you running ?
@AdrianAdventures heater is a nicrew heater. I cannot recall the size. But it is a small compact unit.

@macg2088 how are your nutrients? These lights pack some power. No doubt about that.
Yeah 100% blues and 15% whites. Never used a par meter myself.

@@douglasachaiba7885 not terrible numbers par wise.
For you Hygger Mini what's the flow setting on pulse mode. Thanks for the update on your tank? Corals looking great!
@peteyroc215 412 are the numbers you are looking for. 4 means 100% power. 1 is for pulse. 2 is the frequency of pulse.
Niceee!
@@ebikesandthings verryyy nice 👌
I’m also running a nicrew 50w love to know your lighting schedule and % on blue to white!
I do mention that in the video. Or do you want more in-depth?
Whats the green coral growing on the glass
@@melaninknowledge3658 that is green star polyps. I'm guess you mean the black wall?
@MaineReef those are the best looking GSP I've seen.
@melaninknowledge3658 thank you.
I have a 14 gal IM that probably cost me 2x compared to your setup all in, but looks half as nice. Any idea what par your light is pushing out?
@@jaykay3889 I have no idea the par. Never measured it. Maybe I should just for numbers.
Would you recommend starting with all for reef instead of kalk? Or do you think it doesn’t make that big of a difference, just cheaper to use kalk?
