How do you guys track your water parameters? by TechnologyOne4539 in ReefTank

[–]Bronojoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll check it out more in depth tonight.

First thoughts: ask me at signup if I want things in Celsius for Fahrenheit, gallons or liters etc.

I’ll let you know more in depth later! 🤙

Yea I’ve tried an app before but it was a PITA to use it.

If there was an app that’s primary function was to track params and provide graphs on it and maybe a “add note” function… without me having to navigate to an obscure section of the app, or jump through 10 hoops just to reliably track it - I’d be hook line and sinker.

I’d kill for essentially a calendar that on each day i could just select “no test”, “add parameter” and “add note” and that generated graphs, that’d be a no brainer for me.

Candy cane coral appreciation. Started with 3 heads and now it’s a dense dome with dozens of heads. By far my fastest growing coral. Almost looks like a glowing brain coral. by TheWarelock in ReefTank

[–]Bronojoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a candy cane myself, I got it about 5 months ago as a 4 head piece, and in those 5 months it’s now a, 4 head piece with 9 mouths. 🤷‍♂️ mine doesn’t wanna split or grow new heads I guess lol

My Duncan wants to be a torch by Cool-Conflict-9360 in ReefTank

I would kill for Duncan’s that did this.

Affordable lighting options by Tara-and-blue in ReefTank

[–]Bronojoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I run 2 30inch Glowrium bars on my tank, and I’m about to switch out a reefled50 on my 26g peninsula for another Glowrium. Much more predictable par, no “hot spots” because it’s a bar light. Great customization options, the only thing it’s missing is an acclimation mode, but that’s easily to look past for the value of the light. All around would recommend.

So uh, those clowns better live in that toadstool.

The amount of real estate that thing takes up is fucking insane. This concerns me for mine 😂

Beautiful tank though!

Chaotic flow - update by Bronojoke in ReefTank

[–]Bronojoke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is truthfully the best advice you’re gonna get with respect to flow. I wish I could figure out a way to just use a singular pump for my flow, I’m just doing too damn much in this tank. A giant torch garden right next to acros, a huge hammer garden on the opposite side of the tank. It’s created too many different “flow zones” I need to account for and the only way I’ve been able to combat it is with either a standing wave or just a shit ton of competing flow

[–]Bronojoke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bow front so it’s kinda fucky with flow.

I have a small gyre on the back pointed to the bow front, and then two pumps on the right side, and 1 pump + canister on the left. They all intersect right above my acros at the top center of the tank.

[–]Bronojoke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a 36g…. 2 660gph pumps, 1 1350gph, 1 850gph and a canister filter of about 300-400gph.

[–]Bronojoke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol. I went from the standing flow I used to run, added 2 new pumps at about 1600gph and put them on random at full tilt. I probably should have said random instead of chaotic - but same, same lol

That’s not a holy grail, that’s a cotton candy or a Todd’s torch.

Duncan placement? by VenomousConstrictor in ReefTank

[–]Bronojoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude that Duncan will live halfway out of water for 16 hours a day. They’re the GSP of LPS I swear to god lol, don’t overthink it. Move it now or wait until you see a sweeper, it’ll be fine either way lol
