How you like the reef breeders led, is it enough lighting, someone is selling a use one don’t know if I should hop on it

It puts out plenty of PAR for anything you would want to keep in a 40. I have mine programmed to peak out at 35% intensity for a few hours each day. I came up with that number after watching some YouTube videos by BRS that reviewed and tested these lights.

Tested the water today and came up with:
Magnesium 1320
Calcium 400
Alkalinity 5 dKH
Phosphate .03

I added some soda ash solution and alkalinity is up to 6-6.5. Going to add more tomorrow and try for 7.5.

Just tested nitrates too. Way down to maybe 1 ppm.

Picked up this clown and this SPS today. I think they said it’s a stylophora, supposed to be one of the easier SPS.

Today I did a 10% water change and made 10 gallons of saltwater at 1.026. Clown and corals are happy. I’m just using Reef Crystals for now, it was only $37 on Amazon.

Picked up several more corals and another clown last weekend. Chaeto for the Fuge, ordered a smart plug on Amazon to use as a timer for the Fuge light. More pics to follow.
