I’m sure they would be enough, but I have my lights higher above then the water then recommended, and T5’s can supplement that loss from the leds. Plus T5’s are cheap and powerful.

This build is getting me so jacked for mine haha. Do you think the dividers in the lids restrict much light? I took mine off because I noticed a faint shadow while they were on. For my next one, I may ask them to give me slightly larger glass to make up for the gap the divider takes.

I did notice a shadow when the lights were lower, but now that they are raised roughly 12 - 15” above the water I haven’t noticed it.

On my temp 60 I just hit the first algae stage. Hoping the mimic tang I have in there will keep up

Lol dinos weren’t bad for me maybe a week. My zoas are literally covered with algae lol but most are still wide open.

I'm using aquavitro Seed to help with the biology. Seeing if it helps longer the the first week that I usually use it.

Qt update: 1 week down in 2.0 copper power while feeding gc and focus. No signs of any illness, fingers crossed it keeps going smooth like the clowns did!

Nice. I'm waiting for a diatom outbreak to clear up.

What are ur nitrates at? Mine were at 30 when my diatoms came and I did a large wc and got them down to 10 and they went away fairly fast. (Around a week)

Update: My wife and I are remodeling an area in the house near the front door and adding a Bar. I said how awesome it would look if behind the bar was a massive predator tank instead of just staring at a wall. So in short I will have 2 builds on this thread lol. We discussed for several hours, and the tank will be acrylic 2" thick at 650 gallons

96" x 36" x 42" tall. I will use artificial coral inserts and no rock or corals. I haven't decided on sump or equipment yet, but it will all be decided soon. This build is looking to take between 6-10 months.
