Interesting selection of corals. Does the Chilean coral only open at night or during the day as well?

Jonathan6173

The light, you must understand, is left over from the previous inhabitants. For non-photosynthetic beings, all these distortions are of no use at all. By the way, we're waiting for photos. I'm curious to see how everything looks.

The Chilean opens at night and stays until 12:00. I didn't understand the question about the light? I can control it as I want; for example, right now, the combination is as follows: Morning: Blue and Royal Blue ramp up to 100% in 15 minutes UV ramps up to 30% in 15 minutes Day: White - 50% Blue and Royal Blue - 100% UV - 100% Red, green, yellow - 10% each Evening - everything drops in 15 minutes, remaining: Blue and Royal Blue - 100% UV - 30% Night - red - 2% - very convenient for observing all the inhabitants - they don't see this spectrum anyway. The controller allows separate control of 6 channels with a step of 1%!

I'm not a sailor, but as I understand it, photosynthetic organisms don't care about light, so the lighting is only needed for observation, hence the question - why is it so complicated? P.S. Sorry if I got something wrong.

It's not quite that. I have not only non-photosynthetic species, but also a photosynthetic gorgonian, Dendronephthya, which loves twilight, and Rhizotrochus typus - a typical LPS that I feed with pieces of squid. The lamp was designed for other purposes - specifically to assess the impact of UV light on the hydrobionts beneath it, as well as the capabilities of LEDs. The light is not "whatever" to me; I observe the aquarium.

Thank you for the response. I was actually curious about how non-photosynthetic organisms are indifferent to light... I understand that some biocycles are tied to the dark and light phases of the day, but overall, the spectrum and intensity are not important to them?

Christopher1252

I can't say anything definite about this yet, as I've been observing for a short time. There are types of non-photosynthetic organisms (my gorgonians) that like light - they remain open during the bright hours of the day. I feed them constantly, trying to shift the feeding cycles to when I have "daytime" - for example, I want to observe the open dendrophilia. So far, I can't say how the "opening" of the corals correlates with feeding. The idea is not to create conditions that exist in the natural environment, but to create the most interesting observation experience.

Omar3497

Is the feed constant in the system?

Patricia1746

Currently, it is possible to dose manually 6-7 times a day. There is no time to install the controller - the design needs to be thought out, and the tube holders need to be carefully cut from acrylic using a laser. The mixture includes Tropic Marin Zooton and Phyton, Fauna Marin Ultra Life + Ultra Pack + frozen Artemia and Cyclops. In the evening, Coral Snow from Coral Lezukh. Twice a week, SeaChem Reef Pack complex. Twice a month, Prodibio Booster.

It would be great to get some oyster eggs. I read that they are a super thing for such an aquarium. But as far as I know, they are not available.

Amy5070

Hey, I haven't heard... Is it feed?

Johnny

There is a place in America called in Depot. They have a ton of these feeds there.

Alyssa6727

Yura, interesting project! I hope everything works out, and for now, like everyone else, I'm waiting for the photos.

Eric5208

Max, I know about this, but they are not stored outside the refrigerator. That's the whole problem.

David

Yes. I read it, so I won't have to try this wonder.

Vanessa

Where did he go? An interesting aquarium, but the author is lost. Hello!

Jeffrey496

It was an interesting start... as for the experiment with LEDs and the behavior of corals under them, it wasn't that great... I think the light is too intense... And the most important thing is that when people think about LEDs, they focus on energy savings and light quality... From this, I conclude that we need photosynthetic organisms to understand whether LEDs are truly good for all corals, and what 100 watts of LED light is equivalent to (for example, 100 watts of LED light is visually and in terms of coral behavior equivalent to 250 watts of metal halide).

Anthony4281

I am not interested in light. I am interested in: 1. Rhizotrochus typus - there is only one topic on Aqua Logo, and it says that the temperature should not exceed 25 degrees. I wanted to clarify. 2. Antennarius maculatus - anglerfish.

Selena4467

Off-topic. I received the answer in a private message, thank you!

Michael3221

Well, actually, theoretically, a month is enough for corals to understand how this light... and then it's another matter to measure the spectrum of light, lumens, etc.
