2g Reef Jar

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

Build Thread - B4tn’s 2 gallon cookie jar reef build

I always wanted to try a pico reef but maintaining my current 75 mixed reef seems like a full time job and I just wasn’t sure I was up to maintaining 2 tanks. I ran across @brandon429 thread...

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.
