downhill_biker Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 make sure you start out slow. light shock will stress and kill your corals, just run lower hours, like 5-6 hours and go up half an hour a week until you get to where you want to be. make sure your water parameters are good, and stable before getting the SPS. SPS stands for Stability Promotes Success. if everything is fine, you will greatly enjoy SPS keeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mltnguyen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Gratz on the lighting lets see some pics now (drooler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Here's a pic I only have softies so far, other than a pagoda, candy cane, hammer, and frogspawn... you think we need to do short light cycles for those too? And the water parameters we've had very stable for 2 months now.. still going to wait for the SPS either way. I still have some ricordia and zoas I want to get first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 yes, you need to shorten the photoperiod for everything. doesn't matter if it is high demand SPS, or low light corals, you are giving them more light than ever before and you can easily kill any coral from light shock.

salty419 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 sure looks nice with the new light once the corals adjust to it im sure there gonna love it and hopefully grow crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
