It's a good light capable of a lot for the price. Puts out around 300 PAR 8 inches directly below it on max settings. I hope to upgrade to a light with a more controlled timer. Ramp up/down ect.
The next upgrade is a simple filter floss and chemipure blue sammiched in egg crate. Hopefully it polishes the water better.

I did a large waterchange yesterday. I'm going to do another at lights off will be 50% waterchange with 100% removed and ran through a filter sock after I blew off the rock and stirred everything very well. Tank is 6 months it needed the deep clean. I feel like it's in a stable spot at least.
