Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Too early to say :) But avoiding to tinker with the lights and limiting the number of times I stick my hand in the tank
Beautiful selection of corals! Looks like a little slice of a reef.

Love it. It was the first "proper" light after I took the original lid off, initially for cooling reasons.

Blues and Cyan peak at 55%
Reads and Greens at 25%
Whites at 21%

Peak period is only 3 hours

What ATO did you go with?
H2Ocean compact ATO.
 
Do you have anymore close up photos of your tank?
