I just started my own build for nearly the same configurations.

How did the light tuning go? I did use a PAR peter and it was very strong but the strange shaped thick glass lid really killed PAR. I ended up going 4" off the top of the lid until I can figure out something better.

It's still seems brighter than I would like, but I haven't checked with a PAR meter to confirm. A couple of the anemones have moved to more shaded areas, but overall everything looks fine.
