haha too lazy to upload pics hahaha maybe one day

You should do it!!! It’s really fun and taking pics helps me visualize what corals I should get and where they need to go. Other people’s inputs have also been very valuable to me

Have you ever gotten PAR readings with your setup and are you still running the same lighting intensities? I'm working with the same tank and lighting :)

I haven’t! Just figured that what I got is good :) you should be very happy with this lighting, I haven’t run into a coral that I can’t grow with it yet. I just put in a Walt Disney frag from my mother colony in another tank so we’ll see how that colors up

That's pretty much exactly what I've been curious about. I'm tempted to get a Walt Disney but want to make sure I'll get color complexity out of it.

Thank you! School is gonna be finishing up here in a few weeks so I'm hoping to get back into regular updates after I have some more time for pictures. There have been a ton of changes since my last FTS so I'm eager to find the time to get some beautiful pics and share the progress!

Can’t wait ! I also read that you never did a par reading on the lights. Are you ever gonna do one ? You helped me in the past for my zoa frags with my lights they were doing okay until I took the glass top off I realized my par was 240 on the sand bed. Curious to see what your par is

I might try to rent one from my local club, I’m kinda curious myself actually. According to this video, it should be somewhere in the 100 par range but Im using 2 AI Primes so that probably changes things :)

Just got one from my LFS. I'm surprised how low the par is for SPS. I have to run 100% BRS with 70% whites to get close to 300 par at top of the tank. PAR is around 250 on the sand near the glass and 150 on the sand near the center of the tank. More of a "hotspot" issue as I closer to the glass than the center of the tank.

Edit: Did not have immersion setting on so my readings were underestimated. Will update soon.

I'm officially caught up on this thread. Do you run a second one for the 45g?

Thoughts from 8 pages of updates.

Dang you filled that tank fast.
Super impressed with your level of knowledge and experience
More impressed you run so many tanks, make great grades and are committed to your craft.

Go give your pops a hug, he did good!
