Updated my light settings and lowered the intensity by 10% across the board. Running blues at max of 70% and whites at max of 50%.

Picked up another Reef Octopus HY-7000W so that I could take my return offline for a vinegar bath.

Man... Didn't I just come over there the other day and you had glass tops???? LOL

Awesome, now you just gotta get some fans installed in that canopy and you'll be good to go!

Hopefully the wife and the fish/corals are happy now!

Those light fixtures have fans and since they are dimmable, I am just leaving them on all the time.

Good idea about the fans. Be sure to check the front, inside panels for moisture build up. The most moisture in my canopy builds up in the front corners for some reason.

Those buckets take up a lot of space but are well worth the "bulk" pricing!

Glad the RBTA perked up a bit for ya!

Sitting watching my tank. My blue tang is neurotic. He swims around at high speed and grabs bubbles off the surface. I hear him splashing. Probably a good thing I have those screens on.

That is funny , and yes very good you built the screens.

None of my fish go near the top of the tank not even for food. they let it sink.

I had a blue tang awhile back that would turn upside down at the water surface and splash water around until I fed him!
