So I picked up a marineland 56 column on black Friday last year with a stand for 150, couldn't pass that up. Since, I have drilled the back with 2 returns, eshopps eclipse medium over flow with a herbie. Plumbed it through my living room floor to a homemade 20 gallon long sump in my basement. Running a quiet one 6000 return pump, coralife 65 skimmer (upgraded to bubble magus curve 5 but hasn't been delivered yet), orbit loop system with 2, 24" ic lights, 2, 660 gph eflux dc wave pumps, 1, 1050 gph dc wave pump, 200 water finnex hmo heater, brs ro/di. I have about 120lbs of live rock, I know that sounds like a lot, 2 clowns, 1 dansel, 2 snails, emerald crab, 1 coral banded shrimp, nice zoa colony, 2 birds nest, 1 monti, 1 kryptonite candy cane, 1 pink favia, 1 atomic hammer, and 1 pink and green duncan. Everything seems great so far under these lights and flow so far but it's only been up for a couple months. I'm curious if anyone has put a par meter under these lights... I'm getting mixed opinions on their power. Attaching pics of my build and where it is now. Thanks in advance for your feed back.
