Rumor is you are selling your lights ;)
Haha that’s right. I finally got some viparspectras and the spectrum seems to be much better. I also took some par readings and I’m getting 600 at water surface and about 200 on sandbed ;). I will take some pictures sometime this week and post them

How is the yellow tang doing in your 75g? I was thinking of adding a small one eventually to my new build, but I want to make sure it will be happy and thrive before I go ordering one.

It’s doing well so far! Make sure to feed it some nori and meaty foods. Here‘s a quick video of my tang eating nori (I think this video won’t work on mobiles, but will work on PCs)

They look so happy! How much nori do you add every day?

They do! I feed a 1"x2" of nori every other day. Plus, I feed a mix of hikari carnivore and seaweed pellets every day and frozen hikari mysis shrimp soaked in selcon at night.
