Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I need lots of opinions here.
Im about to go through with getting a red sea light. 90 reefled specifically. Should i seriously upgrade from my kessils or stay with them? I haven't had significant coral growth almost ever with these guys besides anenomes. What do y'all think?
If you had the possibility to do a par reading it would be great and that way you would clear up any doubts. I have always heard good things about Kessils.
 
How are you this morning?
fine thank you. pollen season is kicking off. So windows closed till July 4th. Happens every year. we get like 2 weeks of no heat/AC. And another rain day. At least it pulls the pollen down.
 
I really like my Orphek light
I really wish I had won one of those :face-with-tears-of-joy: I got something in the works though. 100% custom. Taking longer than expected but almost there!
 
What’s going on with this leather? It’s got holes in it

I too was hoping for the win.

Good morning Luis.
Good call on the PAR reading, at least to get a baseline.
Kessils are nice lights, you just need more than you think to get the coverage. I'm running two Kessil a360x on the 40 breeder temporary tank. It's 3 feet, if it were a 4 foot tank, I'd have three over it just to reduce on some of the shadowing since they are more of a point source light.
 
Good morning everyone, yesterday Jason told me to lie down with him until he fall asleep and I think I fell asleep first hahaha

Beautiful Luis!
 
Today is an extra special day. My Orphek is due to arrive. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Hoping tomorrow I can figure out how to hang it.
Which Orphek did you get?
