This was done 3 years ago and since rejoining was advised to start this thread so here we go. Found what Pics I could from back then and some newer ones.

Original stand had water damage so built another out of 2x4. A bit to tall but nothing a step ladder can't handle.

Initially had 2 different lights, worked but had to play with setting to match them best I could. Eventually replaced with 2 Ocean revive in 2021 and now switched to Lominie Pixie 150 lights.

Started with an ASM skimmer and switched to Elos, ASM I kept as backup.

Some fish no longer with me as some passed and others I traded / gave away: Hippo tang, Hawk fish, Puffer fish, Canary Blenny

Question!? So I have those exact OR leds and there awesomely bright but just went to an SR80 from a 75. So back to my question at hand.. seti gs and par at the sand? This would be a huge help.

I don't have a par meter so don't know the value that far down.
