Looking good!

We had a bio 32 same setup but with a hydra 32 and that think could put out some serious par over the cube.

That xr30 is no joke lol what intensity are you running it at?

Can't wait to see it full!

It's at ab+ setting it's ramped up to 100% 9in over water but it's reading 350par - 250par in middle and bottom of tank there is one hot spot in middle only measured 400-450though. I've had that light for 4years now don't know if that's why I'm not roasting corals or not. Figured I'd use a par meter this go around so I actually know what's going on, I did have a 3week ramp up period.
