Updates...

Don't seem to be fully opened after 1 day. Maybe my lights are not strong enough.

Thank you for the precious words...

Okay, I will try…

What was the problem? Water Param?

I failed with 3 attempts for marine as most of the times water gets dirty too easily as fishes like clownfishes poo a lot. Even I do WC twice a week they still got ich and died. The next 2 attempts keeping only a fish or no fish also failed. So keeping grass alike water plants plus tetras using ADA soil and so far 3 months no WC and only top up water. All fishes ok and plants growing well.

I still determined to keep nane reef tank and started this with a list of equipments:

45cm x 20 cm x 20cm tank

Boyu skimmer

Small Overhead Filter

Beamworks LED lightings

Successfully keep my platinum clowns for 1.5 months with once a week WC.

Coral like zoas not doing well, so change lightings as beamworks stand gets rusty easily and getting higher power overhead filter. So now added LR and bubble tip anemone with new lightings.

Wah… that is a lot of LEB bulbs… So total how many watts? (e.g. 1 pc = 1 watt, you will have 90 watts)

Actually, I am searching for "LumenAqua Mini 30 (2 Blue & 2 White)". Hopefully, it is small but bright enough for my super nano...

Salute your persistence...

You must have many clownfishes to have so much poo… I thought yellow tang is the ultimate poo maker!

I believe soft corals (zoas) are more sensitive to carbonate hardness (dKH) & PH. They also have lesser tolerance (compared to fishes) for nitrate and phosphate.

Maybe you like to test these water params and let the senior reefers here enlighten us on what to do in a nano system. :)

Got it from Fresh n Marine at $140. Good for zoas, mushroom and bubble tip anemone. Been using 3 days but not as intelligent as my Maxspect Razor as you cannot program the light as when power up using timer plug, it will perform auto sunrise mode for 15 mins and then set a constant setting which so far my corals and anemone are doing ok. The sunset mode does not perform as timer plug just cut off the power.

No JBJ nano tank 8g complete set came with led light.

Wah… very worth the money….

I am guessing the timer for CherryAqua is external (not within the light set). I feel that you cannot compare with Maxspect cause the price is heaven and earth leh…

Well it does not have a build in controller so the white and blue lights mostly manually control except u power it up and let it run, it will have 15 mins sunrise effect and then fix at a setting which i am quite comfortable with. But I really like the lights because not many metal as the previous beamwork led holding stand keep rusting and stain my tank. The negative side is the touch control u dunno which level of lightings it is set currently. It always starts at maximum level of 30 then all the way down to 0 and then back to 30.

I believe not many people is using this light set. Maybe you can write a product review about it.
